They prove that the continued growth, at rates far above the rest of Europe, has succeeded, not failed. They attest to our commitment to fiscal stability while strengthening the investment-friendly environment and entrepreneurship, aiming at a double convergence in terms of income with the rest of Europe, alongside balanced growth among the country's regions.
The meaning we give to growth and the actions that accompany it are reflected in the new €13.1 billion Public Investment Development Programme—a record amount over the last 14 years. We are accelerating the implementation of reforms, improving infrastructure and everyday life, and turning collective prosperity into individual prosperity for the Greece that all our fellow citizens, especially young people, deserve.
