Greece's economy is projected to grow by 4.5% next year after a stronger than expected rebound this year on higher tourism revenues, pent-up demand and a boost from state support measures, the government's 2022 final budget projected on Friday.
It said public debt was expected to stand at 189.6% of gross domestic product, while its primary budget deficit was expected at 1.2% of GDP.
Earlier in the week Finance Minister Christos Staikouras revised upwards this year's projected economic growth rate to 7% from 6.1% in October's draft budget.
