In Newsbeast.gr, the Centre for Liberal Studies (KEFiM), as part of the Epicenter network, presented its new policy paper on the competitiveness of the Greek and European economy. The study shows Greece ranking 50th out of 69 economies in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, dropping three places from the previous year, and links poor performance to persistent bureaucracy, brain drain, and slow reforms. The analysis connects Greek challenges to the broader EU debate following the Draghi Report, criticising the Commission’s proposed new Multiannual Financial Framework for failing to address fragmentation of capital markets and regulatory barriers to the Single Market.
