Government’s Tax Measures and Economic Challenges in Greece

The Greek government is facing mounting pressure to address the growing public dissatisfaction with tax burdens. While there have been reductions in certain taxes, overall fiscal pressures continue to rise. Key issues include the controversial living standards evidence used for taxation, which many consider unjust. The government has pledged to reduce these by 2027. Meanwhile, demographic challenges are affecting the labor market, particularly among the 30-40 age group, leading to discussions about increasing wages and attracting foreign workers. Additionally, significant changes are occurring in major economic sectors, such as potential shareholding shifts at Costa Navarino and ongoing reforms in banking compensation structures. In international trade, Greece remains exposed to the US-China tariff war, impacting export opportunities. These developments highlight the complex economic landscape and the need for strategic adjustments.
