The Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Strategic Plan for Extroversion \u2014 the roadmap for implementing the National Extroversion Strategy for the five-year period 2026-2030 \u2014 was approved by the Government Committee on the Extroversion of the Greek Economy.<\/p>\n
The Committee met under the chairmanship of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Theoharis, while the Plan was presented by the Secretary General for International Economic Relations and Extroversion, Dimitris Skalkos. The meeting was attended by the Secretaries General of the co-competent Ministries and of the Presidency of the Government, as well as representatives of institutional and productive bodies.<\/p>\n
As a main pillar of the country\u2019s new National Extroversion Strategy, already approved by the Government Council for Economic Policy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Extroversion Plan clearly sets out the key axes for further strengthening economic extroversion and economic diplomacy, with the immediate aim of attracting high-impact investment from abroad, boosting entrepreneurship and creating new jobs in Greece.<\/p>\n
More specifically, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Strategic Plan for Extroversion prioritises and allocates extroversion policies and actions over a medium-term horizon, and identifies geographical and sectoral priorities with favourable prospects for Greek exports and for creating an environment friendly to the inflow of foreign capital. At the same time, the Extroversion Plan sets quantitative targets and highlights the appropriate tools and the institutional interventions required to achieve these objectives.<\/p>\n
As regards foreign direct investment, the analysis that preceded the drafting of the Strategic Plan highlighted as paramount the need to target actions for attracting foreign direct investment at markets with a higher potential return and emerging opportunities.<\/p>\n
Markets with these characteristics and with increased prospects for attracting foreign direct investment to Greece are the US, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, China, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, France and Singapore, while the remaining markets around the world are categorised accordingly.<\/p>\n
Similarly, during the drafting of the Strategic Plan, the appropriate strategic directions were identified for penetrating target markets, as well as sectors that present the strongest opportunities and prospects for expanding the export footprint and attracting foreign investment. In particular, the markets with the strongest prospects for targeted actions to promote Greek exports include the following countries: Germany, the US, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Italy, China, France, the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the remaining markets around the world are assessed in terms of their degree of priority for the implementation of actions. In addition, it is proposed that policy interventions and actions be differentiated by sector, depending on the combination of national export capabilities in each sector and attractiveness in foreign markets, in order to achieve more effective targeting of extroversion actions.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, in alignment with the intervention axes of the National Extroversion Strategy, and taking into account the findings of the comparative assessment with other countries, the Plan sets out the central directions and policies for the institutional and operational strengthening of the national extroversion system.<\/p>\n
In particular, it provides, among other things, for strengthening the effective operation of the Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices around the world; broadening and upgrading the services and tools provided by the national bodies Enterprise Greece and Export Credit Greece; strengthening the structures of Enterprise Greece for comprehensive support of investors and exporters; digital modernisation and the development of unified digital tools; timely and targeted planning of extroversion actions; promotion of the national brand; and strengthening coordinated cooperation with business bodies.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that during the drafting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Strategic Plan for Extroversion, a broad consultation was held with the participation of business and productive bodies to record needs and priorities and to submit proposals.<\/p>\n
The Strategic Plan for Extroversion will be updated on a regular basis, in order to reflect the constantly changing conditions of the international economic environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
