Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras says he expects an "explosion" in investments over the coming years, forecasting they will climb to 18% of GDP by 2027.

Speaking at an Athens University ceremony honoring German central bank chief Joachim Nagel, Mr. Stournaras said this investment surge is the main reason for Greece's high growth, which is more than double the Eurozone average.

During the event,

Mr. Nagel praised the country's performance, calling Greece "an example to follow" in the Eurozone.

Mr. Stournaras noted that investments had fallen to just 11% of GDP in 2019. However, he warned that despite the progress, Greece still has an "investment gap" of about five percentage points of GDP compared to the rest of Europe, a legacy of the financial crisis.

"We have a unique opportunity before us. It is in our hands not to waste it," Mr. Stournaras said, urging an acceleration of reforms.

He identified infrastructure, the defense industry, innovation, and supply chains as key growth sectors. He stressed that this potential depends on continued fiscal responsibility and the implementation of reforms tied to the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility.
