By Stelios Kandia – Shipment to Delphi Economic Forum

The door seems to be closing permanently, and to be watched by the government for the 13th and 14th and 14th salary scenarios in the public and 13th and 14th pension.

We are not the government of “giving it all”, this should not, and will not be repeated, the Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, said, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum.

As he pointed out, I realize that € 7.8 billion is required for the 13th and 14th salaries, the 13th and 14th pension. The money does not exist, and there were not this priority. It is not this particular government policy, but there is already a number of beneficial government measures, such as increases in retirees over 10%, he recalled.

Greece experienced what populism means. On the contrary of populism is act and empathy, the minister noted.

Asked about the presumption to the freelancers and the political costs received by the government, Mr Pierrakakis stressed that much of the economy had much greater tax evasion than the rest. The word corresponding is the word digital. The aim, he said, in the future is to remove horizontal measures in digital measures to tackle tax evasion. We’re not there yet, he made it clear.

To speak in terms of computer engineering, Greece has always had hardware not the software. He had institutions, but he was politically unstable. We need to continue the reforms, we work with the OECD to lift obstacles, to reduce bureaucracy, to reform the judicial system. The digital transformation was made by this government. We have the political will for reforms, we have been voted on for it, there are many things we have done, and more to do.

The situation of the Greek economy is good, the Minister of National Economy and Finance also assured in the shadow of international turmoil in the markets due to Trump duties. We have covered a very long way for Schoeble – Venizelos discussions, he said.

He made it clear, however, that we must be very conservative in our fiscal choices.

Strategic fiscal planning will be the same, he noted.

There is national prioritization, development priority and social prioritization, he added.

There was a national sign for the salaries of the salaries, explained Mr Pierrakakis. He referred to the “other Kyriakos”, to the Prime Minister at the TIF, for any other announcements.
