Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Venizelos attended the Hellenic Association of Entrepreneurs conference on October 7. In his speech, titled " The reconstruction of the Greek economy: The path to growth," Venizelos noted that political and institutional stability is of paramount importance for the economic recovery. He further referred to the achievements of the government on the economic field: Greece attained its fiscal goals, a surplus on current account balance (from a 15% deficit) and impressively lower interest rates – the average interest rate is 2.1%. Venizelos added that “we have a debt that is serviceable and sustainable for at least 10 years, confirmed every week by head of the European Stability Mechanism, Klaus Regling."

He added that the government had at the same time to make structural changes, to combat tax evasion and the informal economy, while also supporting businesses, covering cash needs, discussing a comprehensive taxation system and last but not least supporting the banking system.
