Exploring Tax Incentives, Infrastructure Plans, and Economic Challenges in Greece

Why is there no official study on the impact of tariffs one month before Trump’s deadline? Despite nearly two months having passed since the imposition of Trump’s tariffs and less than a month remaining until their expiration, the Greek government has not conducted any detailed analysis of their effects on the economy. The only published study comes from the Bank of Greece, while statements from top officials suggest indirect rather than direct negative consequences. As Greece aligns with Europe against Trump, it must prepare for changes in international trade dynamics. Meanwhile, Greece is preparing to seek EU funds for island infrastructure to boost tourism and development. To further alleviate urban congestion, especially in Athens, tax incentives are being considered for internal migration from cities to rural areas. Additionally, within the next five years, fuel stations aim to generate half their revenue from non-fuel sources due to increasing electric vehicle adoption. Efforts also focus on reducing electricity costs for industries, though proposals face EU regulatory hurdles. Notably, DEH reports a decline in delinquent customers but highlights that Greeks lag behind Romanians in digital payment adoption. Concerns persist over delays in major projects like Athens Metro Line 4, with potential financial implications.
