Harris Georgiades said Wednesday that all economic sectors will register growth this year in a “more sustainable way.”
He said unemployment continues to shrink at a “very satisfactory rate,” now down to 7% from 16% in the wake of a 2013 financial crisis. He said the government aims to have full employment by 2020.
Georgiades said the public debt is projected to drop this year by around 7 percentage points to 95-96% and projects a further drop to below 90% in 2020.
He said government will cap its spending in the 2020 budget and it will again run a budget surplus.
