“The cost housing Today it is the number one problem for Greek households, as large sections of the population spend up to 50% – 80% of their rental income. This “weight” deprives, especially from our young people, the prospect of having a family or dreaming of their own home, their own course“, Emphasized today’s Minister of Development Takis Theodorikakos in his speech at the 3rd Real Estate Summit of the group Real Group.

“The government has taken specific measures, increasing the offer of housing with tax exemptions and significant tax incentives, putting rules on uncontrolled short -term leases, but also with subsidized programs for affordable residence, especially young people, “Mr. Theodorikakos said, Building licenses were 80%, and other interventions have been made, such as the reasonable ban on short-term leases in selected areas, the program repaired-renovated with significant subsidy, my home program and the decision not to tax rents for three years of houses that would be rented..

The solution for the housing, he said, goes through the productive transformation of the economy to increase the disposable income of the citizens. “This is also the quintessence of the new development law Consultant this month and aims to sustainable and balanced growth across the country, reduce regional and social inequalities, and getting a brake on the Attica Basin. We emphasize the border areas, from our Epirus and Macedonia, to Evros and Thrace, but also geographically to the “weak” economic areas of our country. We want our young people to stay in their place, to work there and to implement their vision for life. “he stressed.

In closing, Mr. Theodorikakos said that “We also did not hesitate to make interventions where it was needed to buy rent and I refer to the 3% ceiling on commercial real estate. The state must intervene in a positive way to support healthy entrepreneurship and especially small and medium -sized enterprises. We have to see things with a sense of general interest and solidarity“
