The Greek economy is a mixed economy that relies on various sectors, including services, industry, and agriculture. The services sector, particularly tourism, plays a significant role, contributing to a large portion of the country's GDP. Key industries include shipping, food processing, and textiles. In recent years, the Greek economy has faced challenges, particularly during the financial crisis that began in 2009. This led to austerity measures and economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy. Despite these challenges, Greece has shown signs of recovery, with growth in tourism and exports helping to improve economic conditions.
