(MENAFN) Data showed that the Greek economy contracted again in the April-June period of the year, edging down by 0.3 percent, The Peninsula Qatar reported.
The second-quarter figures were slightly worse than an initial forecast of minus 0.2 percent, showing that the downturn is running out of steam since the third quarter of 2013.
The government estimates that from now on the economy will show slight quarterly growth, and that the outcome for the whole of 2014 will be a growth of 0.6 percent.
Reforms continue in order to improve tax collection and make the economy, which has been in recession for six years, more efficient and exports more competitive.
