On Friday, Greece successfully repaid loans totaling 5.29 billion euros that would not have been due until 2024 and 2025. The loans in question are bilateral agreements granted to Greece in 2010 as part of the first rescue package from other EU countries. With this step, the Greek government is underlining the successful path to economic recovery and sending positive signals for the coming years. Greece was also able to repay all of its debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) early in 2022, almost two years earlier than originally planned. These early repayments are an important milestone in the country’s economic restart and make a significant contribution to strengthening the trust of international donors and creating new investment opportunities. Greek Finance Minister Kostis Chatdidakis emphasized the importance of these early repayments, stating: “The early repayment of the loans is evidence of the upward trend of the Greek economy and contributes to making the outlook for the coming years even more positive.” This successful development is also reflected in the current growth figures, which show a robust recovery in the Greek economy. The early repayment of the loans is a step in the right direction and demonstrates the Greek government’s efforts to consolidate its finances and win the trust of international investors. The country is well on its way to finally putting the crisis behind it and strengthening its position in the eurozone. (eulerpool-AFX)
