  1. Nope, it was primarily backed by ECB money printing but the Greeks will take a win any way they can get one.

  2. Yeah well we in the UK saw 7.5% growth in 2021, achieved by **checks notes** having a catastrophically huge collapse in 2020.

  3. The Greek economy is improving in record paste while the Russian economy is on fire.

    We are really living in very odd times.

  4. After all it went through, I am glad to see Greece recovering economically. I remain utterly convinced that while its economy required some sanitation, such a bitter potion was absolutely not necessary.

  5. This “positive news” don’t reflect the reality at all.

    Since 2019 the quality of life has decreased quite a bit.

    Mainly because cost of living has increased dramatically.

    More than doubled electricity bill, the already high gas prices made a jump and produce has also increase about 10-20%.

    All that while the increase of the minimum wage (+11€/month lol) falls short in comparison to the inflation.

    Rich get richer, poor get poorer kind of thing.

  6. Considering that in 2020 the Greek economy declined by about 10%, the balance for the years of the pandemic is still in the red.

    There are a few changes that are very welcome, such as the fast page in the computerization of the state and the economy, but web speeds are still low and the infrastructure needs lots and lots of work!!

  7. The far left goverment failed in a epic way. Now, private investement and focus on exports helped. Who could had thought. Populist right wing parties simply dont work, but populist left wing ones dont either. People should remember that. But Greeks were desperate at the time.

  8. I live in Greece. Economy grew 8%, wages have been the same for almost 15 years despite inflation and bills have increased by at least 30-35% the past year, so its worse than ever atm, don’t let this article trick you.

  9. Who are you trying to gaslight with this info? Ofc it would grow after everything was closed. The electricity went up by I don’t even know how much, it’s basically half a paycheck, gas is another 100€ at best. People are struggling
