Greece's economy grew by 1.4% last year, the national statistics agency Elstat said today.
This marked only the second time in a decade of crisis the euro zone nation has managed any growth.
The country's economy shrank by a quarter during an eight-year long recession, aggravated by spending cuts and tax hikes required under its international bailouts.
Debt-laden Greece managed 0.7% growth in 2014, but the recovery was squelched by a period of brinkmanship that nearly led to a default and the country exiting the euro before a third international rescue was agreed.
The 1.4% growth rate is below the 1.8% estimated by the government in the 2018 budget it submitted in December.
Greek growth nearly stalled in the final quarter of last year, with the economy expanding by just 0.1% from the previous quarter.
Greece said last Friday that EU experts have approved a fresh injection of €5.7 billion under its bailout loan programme, which is set to end in August.
