  • [01] Draft 2017 budget forecasts 2.7 growth rates, end of recession

    The draft budget for 2017, due to be tabled in Parliament on Monday, forecasts growth rates of 2.7 pct of GDP in the coming year. Finance ministry sources confirmed a forecast for strong growth rates that will mark the Greek economy's recovery after eight years of recession. They said the draft budget will also be in line with the goals of the economic policy programme for the primary surplus.

    [02] Tsipras to chair meeting on problems facing Lesvos on Monday

    A broad meeting to discuss the effects of the refugee crisis on Lesvos will be held by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Maximos Mansion on Monday (Oct 3), following a request by Lesvos mayor Spyros Galinos.

    "This will not be just another meeting held on Monday," Galinos told Athens-Macedonian News Agency. "I expect the government and opposition to make proposals in the direction of decongesting the almost 5,500 people who are on the island today, but also to support the local communities. In the meeting, apart from proposals, I expect decisions, always in the same direction," he added.

    The meeting will also be attended by Lesvos' local officials, including the prefect of the Northern Aegean Christiana Kalogirou, the president of Moria municipality Nikos Trakellis, where Moria hotspot is located, and police officials. Lesvos MPs Charalambos Athanasiou, Giorgos Pallis and Stavros Tassos have also been asked to join.
