The Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and the Bank of Greece jointly organised, on October 29, an event presenting the conclusions of a study on the Assessment of the impact of policies funded by EU budget on the course of Greek economy.

Introducing the report, Bank of Greece (BoG) Governor George Provopoulos pointed out that the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) and EU funds would truly serve as strong developmental tools if they were incorporated creatively in a wider plan of transforming Greece’s economy towards a new growth model.

In the new conditions, he noted, the use of Community resources should be incorporated in a national strategy, in line with the priorities of the fiscal adjustment and reform programme, thus enhancing the necessary transformations that will lead to a new, healthy production model.
