Agora

In ancient Athens, the agora was where citizens gathered to hear news, discuss and, later, trade. The agora was the heart of the city’s political, cultural and spiritual life. It is this spirit we hope to channel in this section of the website. Here, the Agora is a public forum for discussing events unfolding in Greece and beyond.

In May 2020, we also launched a podcast called The Agora, delivering insight from our own experts and analysis from special guests. If you enjoy intelligent, lively discussion and want the bigger picture, join us for a stroll through the Agora. Our show is hosted on Acast, but you can also listen to us here:

The European Green Deal (EGD) is essentially the EU’s development strategy for 2050. Its central goal is for Europe to become, by the middle of the century, the first climate-neutral continent, namely, to reach a point where greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of the economy are fully offset by carbon dioxide removals, either naturally or through various technologies.

The current setting: In early 2024, ELSTAT published the first estimates of GDP through the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023 and for the year as a whole. The headline number said that real GDP grew in 2023 by 2.0 percent. To many, this was a disappointment, given that the authorities had suggested that the economy was on track to grow by 2.3 or 2.4 percent.
