“Our first priority is to continue supporting the world for electricity, as due to the increase in gas prices have tripled” assured the Deputy Minister of Finance
The prices of natural gas will determine how the additional fiscal space that the economic staff has found from the increase in revenue and tourism revenue will be allocated, the deputy minister of the interior said today Friday on SKAI 100.3 Theodoros Skylakakis.
“Our first priority is to continue to support the people for electricity, as due to the increase in gas prices have tripled. If money is left over, people will be supported for their other needs as well” assured Mr. Skylakakis.
He added that Greece is better prepared against the possibility that Moscow shuts off the natural gas tap in Europe, and noted that we will anyway have a 15% reduction in gas compared to 2021, because we are investing in power generation and lignite while we will also use oil and renewable energy sources will also enter the system.
It will remain the 3% discount in the one-time payment of the tax even for those who will make tax declarations after July 31st because the first date of tax payment is August 31st, explained the Deputy Minister of Finance.
