The Greek economy, having achieved high growth rates until 2008, showed signs of recession in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, whereas in 2010 the recession has been intensified considerably due to country’s fiscal imbalances. The need for consolidation has led the country to embark on a trilateral mechanism of financial support, comprising the EU, the IMF and the ECB.
Greece now has a developed infrastructure that enables the uninterrupted implementation of any investment activity. Within the framework of the holding of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens a number of changes and improvements in a variety of areas -among which includes the infrastructure of Greece- were materialised.
During the last three decades in Greece, demographic shifts, EU integration, and global trends have been reshaping the economic landscape so that Greece’s human resources are meeting the needs of today’s service and knowledge-based economy. There is a good supply of highly qualified labour in Greece.
