P.Spiegel: The Mitsotakis' government marked Greece's return to eurozone normality

The Mitsotakis' government marked Greece's return to the normality of the eurozone and Europe in general, the head of the Financial Times in the US, (US managing editor, Financial Times) Peter Spiegel, said in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA), in view of his participation in this year's Delphi Economic Forum.

"If you look at the beginning of (Prime Minister Kyriakos) Mitsotakis' government and where it is now from a purely economic point of view.... it's almost night and day," he said, adding that confidence has been restored and any problems currently being faced by Greece are the normal kinds of issues shared by all the countries of the eurozone and wider Europe.

He explained that after the particularly "wrenching" period with the SYRIZA government, where the country went from crisis to crisis, economically, and the markets did not know if they could trust Greece or not, it was admirable what the New Democracy government has achieved. "It managed to restore confidence in the markets and in financial issues," he stressed.

Asked about Greece's economic situation, he said that "there are some problematic issues for the IMF and others, but there is no difference with perhaps Italy or Spain or other larger eurozone countries. I think it is a normal economic situation right now. But the difference is the confidence. Based on its achievements over the last three-four years, Greece managed to be in the same category as a lot of other countries."

Peter Spiegel is expected to talk with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Delphi Economic Forum to be held on April 26-29. However, he did not want to want to disclose any details about what he is going to ask, but elections will be the main topic, he said.
