Greek economy to grow 3.1% this year, 4.8% in 2023- finmin
ATHENS, April 29 (Reuters) - Greece's economy is projected
to grow by 3.1% this year and by 4.8% in 2023, the finance
ministry said on Friday.
The government also expects a primary budget deficit of 2%
of gross domestic product (GDP) this year, according to the
country's mid-term economic plan, which was presented by Finance
Minister Christos Staikouras at a cabinet meeting.
Greece's 2022 budget projected growth of 4.5% this year.
Staikouras said last month that high energy prices and the
war in Ukraine would have a negative impact on the country's
economic growth this year.
