Regarding the possibility of a separate subsidy for natural gas, the Minister of Finance said that it will be evaluated according to the fiscal space and the government’s priorities.
“There is no thought of a new extension regarding the submission of tax returns,” pointed out Minister of Finance, Christos Staikouras. As he said, “the process is almost complete. There is a small technical problem for the legal entities that AADE examines. The vast majority of declarations, amounting to 6.2 million, have been submitted.”
Regarding the accuracy, the Minister of Finance speaking to Parapoliticallysaid the picture is extremely difficult and assured that the government will seek to expand the line of defense it has built.
“We have built a line of defense with the tax cuts that we will seek to extend. An example is the abolition of the solidarity contribution to civil servants and pensioners”, he emphasized and added that we will have the possibility of a new increase in the minimum wage in 2023 and an increase in some pensions.
As for whether there will be a separate allowance for natural gas, he noted that it will be evaluated depending on the fiscal space and the government’s priorities.
“I say with certainty that there will be an additional surplus from the summer,” he said characteristically.

Regarding possible new support in the fuel market, Mr. Staikouras said: “It depends on what the price of electricity and natural gas will be. If higher subsidies are needed there, then the possibilities for other actions are limited.”
“By next week we will have a picture of the fiscal space after ELSTAT’s announcements on September 7 about the level of GDP for the second quarter. We also need to see the estimate for energy prices next quarter,” he added. “He’ll probably need more help there. So other options are limited,” he then explained.
