In 2025, allocating additional resources to the PDB, which will reach 14.1 billion, We will further accelerate the implementation of the socially oriented development policy of the Kyriakos Mitsotakis governments; we will put our commitments into practice so that every euro of the NSRF 2021-2027, the National Development Programme, and the Recovery Fund will support the resilient and dynamic Greek economy, create even more jobs, and deliver the dividend of growth to society, turning collective prosperity into individual prosperity for our fellow citizens. I warmly thank all the Ministry officials involved, as well as every competent body of the central and general government, who, through their daily work and targeting, helped catalyze the achievement of this national result."
