Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted three “major investment projects expected to provide a significant boost to the Greek economy” in his regular weekly review on social media. He detailed investments from OTE Group, a member of Deutsche Telekom, Metlen Energy & Metals of the Mytilineos Group, and the American company Chevron.

Regarding Chevron, the Prime Minister emphasized that the presence of two energy giants in Greece—ExxonMobil and now Chevron—reinforces the belief that the country can play a leading role in the global energy market. He noted that Greece has the potential to become a dynamic energy-exporting economy in the coming years, focusing on renewable energy sources (RES) and natural gas.

For the Metlen investment, he pointed out that it amounts to €295.5 million, with the goal of enabling Greece to fully meet European demand for gallium by 2028. This would reduce the EU’s dependence on imports from China, Russia, and Canada. “This is an investment that will upgrade Greece’s position in the global market,” Mitsotakis added.

Mitsotakis went on to mention the recent ECOFIN meeting, stressing that Greece had received the approval of the amendments regarding the National Plan “Greece 2.0” to fund social policies, such as the “My Home II” program and “Upgrading My Home. ” “The country’s Medium-Term Fiscal Structural Program was also approved. This once again confirms that Brussels regards our economy with confidence,” he added.

The Greek PM also remarked on a bill passed in Parliament last week, which includes provisions aimed at preventing and deterring modern criminal behaviors with gender-based characteristics, such as cyber harassment and revenge pornography.
