Greece has taken a further step in achieving a primary budget surplus for a second straight year, according to data released by the Finance Ministry Thursday.
Greece’s primary budget surplus, which doesn’t take into account interest payments, for the January to October period reached €2.4 billion ($3 billion), amounting to 1.3% of gross domestic product, in line with targets set by the Greek government and its international creditors.
