We are excited to announce the launch of the GreeceInNumbers data portal, a new initiative designed to enhance access to data that informs public debate, policy-making, and research on Greece. The creation of the portal is the result of the joint efforts of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), the Hellenic Observatory – Centre for Research on Contemporary Greece & Cyprus (LSE), and the Hellenic Studies Program (Yale University), and aims to provide a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and the wider public.
More specifically, Greece in Numbers is a hub for publicly available data on Greece’s economy and society. The hub collects up-to-date data from official and other sources – such as the Hellenic Statistical Authority, the Bank of Greece, ministries and other public institutions – and organizes the data into a structured, coherent format. The data is visually presented through graphs, each accompanied by clear and concise explanations to enhance accessibility and understanding. By doing so, Greece in Numbers enriches, amplifies, and extends the reach of official data. All data and graphs are freely available for individual and non-commercial use, with options for easy access and download. Over time, the portal will expand its data coverage and functionalities.
Greece in Numbers is governed by a Steering Committee that consists of Manolis Galenianos (who is leading the project as Director; Professor at Royal Holloway, University of London), Nikos Vettas (Director General of IOBE and Professor at AUEB), Vassilis Monastiriotis (Director of the Hellenic Observatory Centre and Professor at LSE), Costas Arkolakis (Director of the Hellenic Studies Program and Professor at Yale University), Christos Genakos (Professor at Cambridge University), and Dimitris Vayanos (Professor at LSE).
