Bank of Greece Gov. Yannis Stournaras foresees the “bottoming out” of the recession still plaguing the crisis-battered country in 2016 and even a slight recovery in the second half, but only if political stability replaces any uncertainty.
Stournaras, the former high-profile finance minister in the previous conservative coalition government, spoke at the annual meeting of BoG shareholders on Thursday.
