ATHENS (Reuters) – Greece is expected to see its economy shrinking by 5-10% this year as a result of the coronavirus-prompted restrictions, its finance minister said on Saturday.
“It seems we have been settling at a range of between 5 and 10 percentage points,” Finance Minister Christos Staikouras told Open television station, adding that estimates are changing constantly.
Greece has extended lockdown measures by a week until May 4 and is expected to ease restrictions slowly after that date.
