Greece’s economy is growing again for the first time in six years, according to figures released by Eurostat on Friday. The austerity measures imposed on the country has seen a fifth of its economy removed in terms of GDP since 2008.
Our business reporter Graeme Wearden says: “The growth figures are quite notable - Greece grew as fast as the UK in the first three months of 2014, and also in the third quarter (it slowed a bit in Q2). So arguably people should feel some difference.
“However, the unemployment rate is still near a record high at over 25%, and it fell deeper into deflation in October, so it’s not a normal recovery.”
We want to hear from our readers living in Greece. Have you noticed any signs of recovery? Is there an improved confidence in the economy, or has there been no noticeable difference? Share your circumstances and experiences with us via GuardianWitness, or by filling out the form below.
