The only economic measure that has been locked in is that we will continue to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses and households in terms of electricity, as this is also the big uncertainty, he stressed in SKAI 100.3 radio the Deputy Minister of Finance Theodoros Skylakakis
He noted that as the Russian natural gasthe government should give money so that consumers do not see these increases
Mr. Skylakakis noted that in August alone, more than 200 million euros were given for energy.
The deputy minister explained that gas prices are ten times higher than they were before the war in Ukraine and this is a problem that does not allow us to do permanent planning. He characteristically mentioned that someone must be a Calchas seer to predict gas prices
He also emphasized that natural gas is a part of the hybrid war that Russia has launched against Europe alongside the one in Ukraine.
Referred to in yesterday’s budget figures he stressed that the revenue overrun is not as large as it appears as the road tax and the refundable advance are included.
