The Greek Economic Summit is at the vanguard of politics and economics
The GES has been on the vanguard of conversations about politics and economics since its inception three decades ago. The Summit joins together important government officials, executives, policymakers, academics, and media figures in order to foster a hybrid discussion that takes into account all aspects of contemporary obstacles.
The Summit will pay specific attention to the increase of public debt and inflation after the pandemic, forms of building sustainable green systems and transition to zero-emissions, as well as Greece’s recovery and resilience plan.
“This year’s Summit takes place at a critical juncture for Greece, as it seeks to foster a strong recovery and build a solid foundation for the future,” said Nikolaos Bakatselos, President of the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.
“After more than a decade of economic hardship, Greece’s new economic and recovery plan presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the country to create sustainable growth and transition into a prime business and investment destination.
