Βαλκάνια και οικονομική ανάπτυξη

Abstract

Greek industry, and manufacturing in particular, can and indeed must be the
stimulus for economic development with an outlook that extends far beyond the
borders of Greece.
Despite its abuse at the hands of the state and state intervention, despite its
comparatively small size, despite its weaknesses, it still has a dynamic urge for reorganisation,
modernisation, new directions, and new activities.
Greece also has strategic sectors with comparatively great advantages, such as
food and drinks, for instance, textiles, clothing, etc. With appropriate management
and a new industrial policy, they could adopt innovations and undertake enterprising
initiatives which could completely transform Greece's possibilities for economic
development.
The writer firmly believes that the dual conjunction of our membership of the
EU and the opening up of the markets in Eastern Europe presents Greece today with
a unique opportunity for economic development, a chance we must not miss.
