Greece to get first tranche of EU recovery funds this month - minister

Reuters reports that Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said that Greece expects to receive four billion euros ($4.7 billion) later this month in the first tranche of funds secured from the European Union's Recovery Fund. He said another 3.5 billion euros would come from the fund by the end of the year.

The country is to get about 31 billion euros in subsidies and loans from Europe's 750-billion-euro post-pandemic fund by 2026, mainly to make its economy greener and more digitalised.

Greece has spent about 40 billion euros to support companies and workers hit by lockdown restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The country has already raised nearly 12 billion euros from debt markets, and Staikouras said the government's cash reserves were unchanged from at the start of the pandemic crisis, at about 34 billion euros.

The Greek government expects the economy will grow by 3.6% this year, helped by tourism, after an 8.2% slump in 2020.
