First we will see the prices in the tanks fall and then on the shelves, said to SKAI and in the show “Unmatched” the Deputy Minister of Finance Theodoros Skylakakis regarding the increases in prices due to energy costs.
I do not believe that we will learn to live with the prices of natural gas as it is now, said Mr. Skylakakis, explaining that energy prices in the coming years will go like an amusement park “up and down”, in the medium term down because – as he said – renewables have lower prices and no ups and downs.
In ’20 -’21 we had deflation, prices today as a whole returned to the levels of 2019, he added while estimating that in 2022 we will not have serious inflationary pressure on households. “There we will fluctuate next year with a slight increase”
Regarding the deficit, the Deputy Minister of Finance stated that no measures will be needed. He pointed out that it is mainly due to tourism. “Tourism will go 10.5 billion all year and we had 18 billion in ’19 plus the pandemic blow in the first half is equivalent to the long course of investment with a return to ’19 plus over 1.5% in 2022”
In the event of a lockdown, he replied: “The Greek economy owes a debt to Europe, well restructured but large, it has too many measures we have taken and the government’s policy is such that a large part of the population is vaccinated, especially after the third installment. it is illogical for those who are protected to be locked in, causing enormous damage to the economy. “
