democracy has won the nation's snap general election. with most districts counted, prime minister alexis tsipras has admitted defeat to his rival, kyriakos mitsotakis. so, what kind of economy is he taking over? since 2010, greece has undergone three bailouts worth a staggering total of nearly e310 billion, that's around $360 billion. it was the biggest bailout in financial history. greece exited its last bailout in 2018. along with the bailout came austerity measures which forced the government to cut spending and increase taxes. the effects were harsh — the greek economy shrunk by a whopping 25%. hundreds of thousands of businesses went under and 1 in 5 greeks were pushed below the poverty line. unemployment rose — at the height of the crisis in 2013 more than half of all young adults were unemployed, that's now fallen to around 40% for the most recent figure. this is despite half a million young people leaving the country. the greek economy returned to growth in 2017 and the imf forecasting an increase of 2.4 per cent this year, but it's unlikely to return to its pre—crisis size at least until the early 2030's. after the victory was clear, prime minister elect kyriakos mitsotakis had these encouraging words. of course our discussions with our european creditors will begin but we have made our plan very, very clear. no real surprises here involved. we wa nt to no real surprises here involved. we want to drive a real reform agenda for the country that is ambitious, very bold and very, very detailed. and of course, we have made the case that lower primary surpluses will be to the benefit of everyone. nikolaos antypas, lecturer in finance, icma centre, henley business school joins me now. thank you forjoining us on the programme. what do the results

an outright majority in the parliament was up its leader, it gives him an opportunity to implement a highly ambitious reform plan which is essential in the greek economy. the social markets seem to agree with kyriakos mitsotakis and have voted for him. it is turning at a record low of about 2% and the greek stock—market is more than 9% since the election lives month. it may be too early to say but looks like greek economy is heading for outstanding growth over the next few yea rs. outstanding growth over the next few years. he has the seat of approval from investors and greek people but he has made these premises was not how will he implement them? you limit let's talk about his core plan. it has four main action points. the first one is slashing taxes will stop the corporate tax rate is expected to go down from 29% to 20% and there should be additional cuts in personal income tax and vat. it will help them grow. the second measure is about reform. no—one has proclaimed that he will reform the public sector by privatising streamlining some of the government functions. these will help increase bureaucracy and efficiency. —— decrease theocracy and increase efficiency. —— bureaucracy. there have been rings preventing greek banks from providing capital to even the best of our awareness. borrowers with a good credit score. this is a big problem for an economy that needs to grow. the fourth and final point of his plan is that the new government is market friendly and this and attract investors. it is expected to be utilised when it is more inviting in the environment in greece. it will create hundreds of jobs in the environment in greece. it will create hundreds ofjobs which are desperately needed in these times. of course there are caveats. that is all very

years back, robots were good at shooting and passing only. that was enough. but now you need to combine all those things together in a good strategy and make sure the robots work together. there is more to this than a bit of a spot with circuitry. football depends on natural human instinct. something the robots aren't blessed with but as they become more sophisticated and work asa team, become more sophisticated and work as a team, they can apply those skills to other fields. the ultimate challenge is still way off but by 2050, the aim is to have a robot tea m 2050, the aim is to have a
