This follows the announcement of a primary surplus above the 2025 target, which allows for additional fiscal interventions.<\/b><\/p>\n

The measures announced by the Prime Minister are being specified by the Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis<\/b>, Deputy Ministers Thanos Petralias<\/b> and Giorgos Kotsiras<\/b> and Giorgos Kotsiras<\/b> and the Secretary General of the Financial Sector and Private Debt Management, Th\u00e9oni Alambasi.<\/b><\/p>\n

Kyriakos Pierrakakis first referred to the option of returning \u20ac500 million from the surplus back to society. The surplus, he said, is not the result of a conjuncture or over-taxation, but of “deep structural change”, noting that only 10% comes from indirect taxes<\/b>. <\/p>\n

According to the minister, the outperformance is linked to the growth of the economy<\/b>, the reduction of unemployment<\/b>, the increase in investment<\/b>, the intensification of the fight against tax evasion<\/b>, the digitisation of transactions<\/b>, and the enhancement of tax compliance<\/b> through the digital job card.<\/p>\n

“Balanced policy mix”<\/h3>\n

He presented the government’s dilemma between one-off interventions or permanent boost to citizens’ income, stressing that a “balanced policy mix” had been chosen.<\/b><\/p>\n

Kyriakos Pierrakakis said the package of eight measures announced by the prime minister was structured along three axes: Supporting income, easing the cost of living and tackling private debt.<\/b><\/p>\n

He also referred to European rules on interventions in the energy crisis, noting that these should be “targeted, parameterized and temporary”, in line with the European Commission’s guidelines.<\/p>\n

Special emphasis was placed on the private debt aspect, with the minister referring to the need for a “second chance” for citizens and businesses trapped in old debts.<\/p>\n

In this context, it was noted that the aid to pensioners given every November is being increased from 250 euros to 300 euros, while the criteria are being broadened. <\/b>And the emergency aid to families with children, of 150 euros per child, will be given without any application at the end of June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
