The G7 meeting was attended in person, in his capacity as chairman of the Eurogroup, by Minister National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis and became the first Greek to attend a G7 meeting.
About the meeting, Pierrakakis posted the following text on his Facebook account:
“G7 finance ministers and central bank governors met to assess the emerging economic landscape.
Recent developments remind us that resilience is no longer a theoretical goal. It is an operational necessity. Energy security, diversified supply chains and strategic autonomy in critical infrastructure are now at the core of macroeconomic stability.
At the same time, another transformation is underway, more quietly but just as decisive. Rapid advances in AI are beginning to affect productivity, capital allocation and even monetary policy.
If energy is today’s constraint, AI is tomorrow’s multiplier, but without proper governance, it can also become a source of fragmentation and risk.
We must act in concert, not only to meet current challenges, but also to shape the frameworks that will define the global economy in the years ahead.
From Ukraine to AI governance, the challenge is common: to align speed with strategy and national action with international coherence.”
