This chapter looks at structural impediments to better economic performance, and structural policies that could lessen or remove them. It focuses on a limited number of key areas that seem, in the Greek context, to be particularly important for faster growth, to wit, the quantity and quality of labour inputs, and the efficiency of product and financial markets. The areas discussed below are: the improvement of labour market flexibility; the upgrading of training and education: competition policy reform; the liberalisation of product markets, in particular the energy, telecommunication and transport sectors; and the reform of financial markets. The chapter concludes with a box (Box 11) summarising recent progress in structural reforms more generally.
