The following highly interesting KEYNOTE ADDRESS, titled: “FROM REFORMS TO RESULTS: HOW GREECE CHAMPIONED EUROPE’S STEEPEST DROP IN UNEMPLOYMENT”, was part of the agenda of the 27th Annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum: “Building on Success: Unlocking Greece’s Investment Potential”, that was held with great success and participation, on Monday, December 8, 2025 in New York in cooperation with New York Stock Exchange – NYSE, Athens Exchange Group (ATHEX Group) and major Global Investment Banks & Organizations. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and TEN Ltd (Tsakos Energy Navigation) were the Lead Sponsors. The Forum was organized under the Auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in New York.
The Minister of Labour & Social Security, H.E. Niki Kerameus, in her speech stated:
“Over the past six years, Greece has turned reform into measurable and sustained progress. The unemployment rate has dropped by 10 percentage points, the steepest decline anywhere in Europe, while overall employment has reached historic highs. This outcome is not accidental. It reflects a clear and consistent policy direction: linking reform with opportunity, and investing in people as Greece’s most powerful comparative advantage. By placing human potential at the center of our strategy, we are creating conditions for long-term resilience and shared prosperity.
Our Ministry’s approach strengthens both job creation and investor confidence. We are working to build a labor ecosystem that is fair, competitive, and fully aligned with the evolving needs of a rapidly changing global economy. This strategy is structured around five key pillars: targeted policies that encourage higher labor-force participation; empowering people with the skills demanded by the future; active labor market programs with tested and measurable impact; transparency and full compliance supported by digital innovation; and transforming the long-standing brain drain into a dynamic process of brain gain.
Although the results are encouraging, we recognize that challenges remain, just as they do in every modern labor market. Still, Greece is moving decisively in the right direction: towards more jobs, better-paid jobs, and a labor market capable of supporting sustainable growth.
Behind every statistic stands a real person. Each of the more than 500,000 jobs created in the past six years represents a tangible opportunity for someone to live better, support their family, build independence, create, dream, and ultimately turn those dreams into reality.”
