This year’s edition of the Greek Law Digest coincides with a landmark moment for the people and the enterprises of Greece: after eight difficult years, the economic adjustment programmes have been completed and the economy is growing again, thanks to a significant increase in exports and foreign direct investment, rising consumer confidence, lower poverty rates and revamped infrastructure. This is only the first step towards not only economic recovery, but also the implementation of a holistic growth strategy, with an emphasis on exports, foreign investments, innovation, employment and sustainability. For the first time ever, Greece’s economic policies are guided by a coherent action plan, which resulted from an extensive consultation process, both domestically and internationally. This plan is fully in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
