EU PANDEMIC RECOVERY FUND

Introversion, moderation, and cautiousness are the basic elements that always characterised the outgoing chancellor, according to a biography that will soon be available in Greek.

The spending package that was announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis last week was reminiscent of a bygone era, when governments each autumn had the capacity to distribute money without considering the cost.

The report issued by the Bank of Greece explains that the implementation of the EU Recovery and Resilience Plan for Greece will expedite recovery.

What Greece must demand at this EU summit and future ones is as much European solidarity as possible, especially as regards national issues such as relations with Turkey.

The EU's Pandemic Recovery Fund is enormously important and should not be misconstrued as routine aid or as a plan for subsidies aiming at a merely corrective intervention.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his cabinet yesterday reviewed the government’s National Recovery Plan that is about be submitted to the European Commission for approval.

Mr. MItsotakis;' strongest weapon is his government's new, cohesive plan for exploiting funding from the EU Pandemic Recovery Fund to promote tourism and to solidify and exploit Greece's new, stronger geopolitical position.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is quite rightly thrashing out measures with targeted assistance for the middle class that will be a central part of the national reconstruction plan on the basis of which Greece will receive EU Recovery Fund liquidity.

The PM told his ministers clearly quite a while ago that the government would not squander EU pandemic recovery funding with the thoughtlessness of the nouveau riche.
