The minister referred to Eurostat data according to which Greece has the 3rd best performance in the Eurozone with inflation standing at 2.1%. “Spain is 4.1% and we are 2.1% and Tsipras told us to follow the Spanish example. Greece is stable in the countries with the lowest inflation in Europe, we are the 3rd with a difference of 0.1 from the second.”
In other countries, not only in the UK, there are shortages in supermarkets, we have no shortage in the supply chain, he said.

Mr. Georgiadis underlined that the benefits of development will be distributed fairly to all Greeks
