Output down 20.1 percent: Bank of Greece governorAP ATHENS--The recession in Greece has cut output by 20.1 percent between 2008 and 2012, but the country's economy is “clearly improving” after avoiding the dangers of a default and euro exit, the governor of the Bank of Greece said Monday.
February 26, 2013, 12:15 am TWN European Central Bank governing council member George Provopoulos said Greece's economy would remain stuck in recession in 2013, with unemployment expected to continue rising this year. Greece's annual gross domestic product is set to contract by 4.5 percent this year, the report said, compared with the prediction made in the 2013 budget of a 3.8-percent output loss. |
