"Greece's efforts are paying off. We no longer talk about Grexit; we talk about the exit of Greece from the program of the institutions," he said, adding that foundations have been laid for sustainable growth.
"In the last three years, Greece has become a champion in reforms, not only in Europe and the euro zone, but also among the countries of OECD," Tsipras said on his part.
OECD had been a very important partner for Greece during the difficult years of the crisis, he noted, adding that now the organization will be a constructive partner in the context of efforts to generate sustainable growth for all Greeks.
"Now it is not a time for additional measures for the Greek economy. What is needed is relief from austerity and a good plan to continue reforms and reduce the unnecessary burdens to allow room for larger growth," the Greek prime minister stressed, acknowledging that more needs to be done.
Greece still has significant challenges to face, OECD experts underlined in the annual report. Athens needs to push through more reforms to deal with poverty and social inequalities, as well as issues of ineffectiveness in the public sector, tax evasion and shortcomings in the framework for investments, according to OECD.
