PM welcomes three new bills on social security, education, police reform
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis welcomed the three bills on the agenda of the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, which are the bill for the new school, the supplementary social security system and the reorganization of the Greek Police.
He also noted that other important reforms are under discussion, such as the development law to stimulate investment.
“They are all progressing in the light of the medium-term fiscal policy plan until 2025, which takes into account the fact that we have allocated 41 billion euros to support the economy during this difficult 18-month period, predicts stable growth rates – 3.6 pct for this year, 6.2 pct for next year, and around 4 pct until 2025,” he told MPs in his introductory comments.
As for the Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy Framework 2022-2025, which was presented to the cabinet meeting by Finance Minister Christos Staikouras, it foresees primary surpluses as of 2023.
The Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy Framework will be submitted to the Parliament for a vote.
At the same time, Greece is expected to exit the enhanced supervision within 2022, to achieve a single-digit percentage of non-performing loans (“bad” loans) within the next year, as well as to achieve an investment grade by the first half of 2023.
