Speaking to reporters afterwards, Alogoskoufis said that it was a known fact that there were several effects on the European economy due to the international credit crisis, as well as on European inflation, some of which were also seen in Greece.

Given that background, the minister continued, the government was determined to proceed with those reforms that would give the Greek economy they momentum it needs to continue to grow at higher rates than the rest of Europe, and to face the problems that have also to do with the lower income brackets, but also for the further good course of the Greek economy.
