Labour and Social Affairs Minister, Kostis Hatzidakis, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum on Friday, estimated that unemployment in Greece will fall to 8% in 2027, based on current growth rates and if serious policies continue to be implemented in the post-election period.

The minister also expressed the belief that during the upcoming elections in May, New Democracy will be supported, so that it "continues a policy of Europe and common sense."

In more detail, regarding unemployment, Hatzidakis pointed out that it has already fallen to 11.4%, compared to 17.5% in 2019 and this did not happen by chance, but was the result of government policy, the new labour legislation and the message of seriousness and stability sent by the ruling New Democracy government.
