Greek Economy to Experience 2.2% Growth in 2023 with Cautionary Measures, States Cenbank Chief

Greece will hold a general election on May 21, weeks before the conservative government’s term ends. But the vote is unlikely to produce a clear winner, setting the stage for protracted political manoeuvring and a runoff vote.
