[01] FinMin: SE Europe can be an economic miracle in next 20 years
Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis, addressing a dinner
on Friday hosted within the framework of the 3rd International
Conference on Capital Markets in Thessaloniki, said that "the region of
southeastern Europe has the prerequisites to constitute the economic
miracle of the next 20years."
He noted that "our region possesses significant comparative advantages,
which are up to us to utilise properly in order for it to succeed."
Alogoskoufis said that "if Ireland constitutes the economic miracle of
the past twenty years, then southeastern Europe can constitute the
economic miracle of the next 20 years."
"Prerequisites exist, as the region possesses great advantages which
are more complementary towarsd the rest of Europe rather than
competative. Of course, for this to be achieved, what is required is
the political will for reforms, the will by the governments and
understanding by the citizens to overcome the inflexibilities of the
past."
