Where is Odysseus? Part 5 - Productivity
As in our previous four monthly blogs, we continue to trace the progress of modern-day Odysseus, who started a long voyage in 2018 to help bring Greece back home to a sustainable and prosperous economy. He is seeking to navigate the winds of a high debt ratio of 185 percent of GDP towards a debt ratio of 60 percent of GDP. The Plan that Odysseus had developed in 2018 is described in a book on the macroeconomy of Greece.

Greece needs to re-think natural gas policy, starting with demand
The need to adapt quickly to a Europe without Russian energy will prove challenging for Greece, whose national energy strategy leans heavily on natural gas as a “transition fuel”. Is it time to rethink Greece’s “dash for gas”?
