Mitsotakis Unveils €23bn Development Plan for Greece

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis opened his address at an event hosted by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance to present Greece’s National Development Program (NDP) for 2026–2030 with a quote from Oscar Wilde: “If you have exhausted the subject, you have exhausted your audience.” He then outlined the political and development priorities underpinning the new five-year plan.

Mitsotakis stressed that the NDP builds on an effort launched in 2021 to establish a stable, long-term development strategy rather than one shaped by individual electoral cycles. He placed particular emphasis on the scale of the resources available under the new programme, saying the overall funding package amounts to 23 billion euros.

The prime minister, the financing such an ambitious program is the result of the economic policy pursued since 2019. Greece, he said, has managed to meet its fiscal targets, achieve primary surpluses and reduce public debt at a faster pace than any other country in the history of the OECD, while also securing resources for both social policy and investment.
