"In the six months after Greece's exit from the memoranda, the government has focused on a very demanding but also a beautiful project which is to lay the foundations in order for the country to move to the future with safety based on its own strength and by taking advantage of its comparative advantages" Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Friday addressing Delphi Economic Forum.

Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said his government was working closely with its European partners to boost competitiveness, following his meeting on Thursday with visiting European Economy & Finance Commissioner Pierre Moscovici.

The European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, Pierre Moscovici, is expected in Athens today in the wake of the European Commission’s report, which blocked the release of a 1bn-euro tranche after urging the Greek government to speed up reforms.
