Foreign Affairs Discussion Group: Greece, 15 Years After Financial Crisis

Greece has staged a remarkable financial turnaround; its sovereign debt is now investment grade and its economy is growing by over 2%, thanks to budget discipline, reduced red tape, improved business climate, a tourism boom, and competent use of EU recovery funds. But the country has a way to go to boost its productivity, reduce income inequality, and employ its youth. How can leadership sustain the momentum of reform, build on success, and overcome remaining challenges?
