Greece's surplus will be distributed to those most in need, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said during his speech at the 5th regional conference on productive reconstruction held at Ioannina, northwestern Greece.

In May, Greece experienced a surplus in comparison to last year's deficit, exactly a year prior.

The Greek Finance Ministry confirmed that the central government's primary budget for the initial seven months of 2014, stands at 2.3 billion euros.
