In a recent interview with NAFTEMPORIKI, Prof. Phoebe Koundouri discussed Greece’s primary budget surplus, describing it as a strong signal of economic health and a crucial step toward attracting foreign investment and enhancing economic resilience.
She emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced fiscal policy, noting that surpluses driven by inflation and high VAT must be carefully evaluated. Prof. Koundouri highlighted that any reduction in VAT should be sustainable in order to ensure policy stability—an essential factor for long-term growth and investor confidence.
