In a doorstep statement as he arrived for Monday's Eurogroup meeting, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras expressed his satisfaction that the national Recovery and Resilience Plan 'Greece 2.0' was among the 12 national plans to be approved by the Council.

The Greek economy is waiting to see a recovery through EU funds and the arrival of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Athens will give the "green light" for the immediate start of the implementation of the national program "Greece 2.0".
