As reported to ot.gr, despite the developments in Ukraine, the forecasts for the Greek economy remain positive.
Analysts continue to report that GDP is strong during this year, as well.
Swiss UBS raises GDP forecasts for 2021 and 2022: estimates for 8.5% and 5.5% are above official estimates. The bank also emphasizes, among other things, that Greece had an impressive recovery, with its GDP exceeding the level before the pandemic (fourth quarter of 2019) from the third quarter of 2021. Why? Because, in 2022 Greece will benefit from capital inflows of Europe, tourism and consumption. The revised forecast is based on the business environment reaching its highest level since 2000, while growth, as well, is expected to be driven mainly by investments and, to a lesser extent, by the increased consumption and the tourism industry.
