THE STAR – Greece wants to regain investment grade status in early 2023, said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis who pledged not to deviate from fiscal targets already set.
“I want to return to investment grade in the first months of 2023,” Mitsotakis said in an interview with Skai TV broadcast on Saturday. That will unlock billions in funds that can be invested back into the country, the premier added.
Greece needs to stick to its reform agenda and address imbalances such as high debt and the banking sector’s problems to regain investment grade status, European Central Bank’s mission chief for Greece Martin Bijsterbosch said earlier this week.
