Finance Minister Christos Staikouras is heading to Washington to attend the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
The IMF gave the K. Mitsotakis government a good grade, as, via its report that came to light, it stresses that the reforms implemented by New Democracy in the labor sector regarding the issue of sectoral employment contracts, as well as the party’s commitment to growth and privatization is in the right direction. According to the Fund, growth for 2019 will reach approximately 2%.
An IMF spokesman on Wednesday clarified that European partners must take the next step if Greece insists on paying off a more expensive loan extended by the Fund before its maturity expires, speaking during a press briefing.
