Prime Minister, the ‘Square’, and Ambitious Hosts: Challenges in Reducing Energy Costs and More

Light at the end of the tunnel? The most significant development of recent hours is the preliminary agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine for a 30-day ceasefire plan, with many details yet to be disclosed. Meanwhile, on the international stage, tensions persist due to the trade war initiated by Trump’s administration, particularly targeting Canada. Additionally, financial markets are already showing consequences. Notably, elections in Greenland have sparked discussions about full independence from Denmark, with Trump eyeing potential expansions to include Greenland as the 52nd U.S. state after Canada. Domestically, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis faces crucial reshaping challenges aimed at regaining societal support ahead of 2027. Concerns also arise regarding energy taxation and infrastructure funding as Greece navigates these complex waters. Furthermore, political uncertainties in Romania threaten Greek business interests, while corporate developments involving REDS and Aktor Concessions highlight ongoing economic shifts.
