Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has pledged further tax reductions for middle-income earners as part of his government’s fiscal strategy.
Speaking at an event focused on modernizing Greece’s tax administration and improving citizen services, Mr. Mitsotakis highlighted the country’s notable financial progress under his administration.
“Greece is meeting its fiscal targets, reducing debt, growing at three times the European average, and lowering taxes,” Mr. Mitsotakis stated.
He contrasted Greece’s achievements with challenges faced by other European nations, noting that many are struggling with missed fiscal targets, increased tax burdens, and heightened fiscal oversight. “What we have achieved is extraordinary by European standards and a clear validation of our fiscal policies,” he added.
Addressing the audience, Mr. Mitsotakis acknowledged the strides made in easing the tax burden on the middle class, particularly salaried workers.
However, he recognized that more can be done. “We remain focused on further relieving middle-income earners by 2027,” he said, hinting at potential adjustments to income tax brackets to benefit this segment.
Looking ahead, the prime minister expressed confidence that the economic results of his policies would be evident to all by the next election cycle in 2027.
“I believe the economic impact of these measures will be clear and tangible when we are judged by citizens again,” he stated.
The event, organized by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance and the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), also emphasized the importance of a modernized and efficient tax administration.
Mr. Mitsotakis participated in a discussion with journalist Elena Laskari, where he underscored his administration’s broader goals to ensure sustained economic growth and enhanced services for taxpayers.
