Στρατηγική ανάπτυξης για την ελληνική οικονομία: τα διδάγματα του παρελθόντος με τη ματιά στο μέλλον.

Abstract

In the present study, the first goal is to summarize the history of the post-war Greek economy from 1958 until 2002 with its advantages and drawbacks; the 1958-1975 period of rapid growth, the 1975-1995 period of stabilization and decline, the 1995-2002 transition period from Drachma to the Euro currency. The second goal is to review the early Euro period of 2002-2008 and the effects of the new currency on the competitiveness of the Greek economy, as well as the 2008-2011 crisis period which brought the country’s economy to the verge of default. The third and most important goal is to reveal and analyze the potential of the Greek economy in five key sectors that could reverse the present recession status and result in a highly competitive and sustainable growth model for the next decade to come.

The methodology used for this study was a literature review of various sources. The final selection consists primarily of OECD Economic Surveys concerning Greece throughout the time period mentioned above, along with Alpha Bank Economic Bulletins and McKinsey & Company Study for the potential of the Greek economy.
