Greek exports have risen by 46% since 2019, reaching €47 billion from €32 billion, Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis said on Tuesday. He added that they have more than doubled compared with pre-crisis levels in both volume and as a share of GDP.
Speaking in Thessaloniki at the general assembly of the Greek Exporters Association, he said the country aims to increase goods exports by 45% to €70 billion by 2030 under a five-year outward-looking plan that includes measurable targets and specific policy actions.
He said the target would be achieved through the upgrading of Enterprise Greece and Export Credit Greece to provide integrated support to exporters, the strengthening of Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices abroad, further digitalization of extroversion services, and more targeted international promotion of Greece’s national brand.
He cited India as an example of a major strategic priority, describing it as a vast market and a key national objective. Hatzidakis said export growth has been driven by Greek companies that refused to remain tied to an inward-looking production model, instead seeking new markets, investing in quality and turning crisis into opportunity.
