Return will go through the banking system. For citizens, paying the rent by bank payment is a prerequisite for their financial support for the roof. For businesses, the mandatory payment of their professional housing rent through a bank account is a prerequisite for the deduction of the invoice from expenditure. Also, for property owners the 5% expense discount (eg renovation costs) will pass on the condition of digital payment.

This was revealed, among other things, this morning by the Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis, in an interview with Real News publisher and director, Nikos Hatzinikolaou, after a greeting at the opening of the “Greece 2025-2030” conference.

As the minister said, we have gone through much of the route in the transformation of the productive model of the economy. “Citizens have begun to feel improvements in their daily lives and I believe that in 2030 Greece will have conquered much more.” said Mr. Pierrakakis. “We have achieved growth of 2.3%, higher than the eurozone average, but that is not enough, we must achieve something better.”

Co -responsible will be fuel companies for violations

One of the incisions brought by the new Customs Code bill is to combat fuel smuggling by imposing significant penalties and fines on distribution companies, which will now have an institutional obligation to monitor potential violations on their network of service stations.

“There are studies that say we are losing half a billion euros from our funds due to fuel smuggling” The Minister of National Economy and Finance emphasized, stressing that therefore the exhaustion of rigor is needed.

Transfers of real estate from solidarity of business officers

At the same time, a new provision restores yet another absurdity of the Greek state. From now on, all responsible solidarity of businesses, namely, managers, consultants, shareholders and members of companies with a percentage of up to 5% to sales or parental real estate benefits, even when the company they are linked has debts to the State, it is sufficient to regulate them.

“Also, for those who have a shareholding of more than 5%, there will be a more flexible process where the state will be guaranteed”; The minister specifically said. The amount to pay, which reached 70%, can be limited to 7%, provided that the managers give another property as a pledge.

‘The state must give the hand and not shake the finger’ said Mr. Pierrakakis, adding that “The arrangements cannot be punitive.”

Incentives to open closed real estate – supply shock

Among the incentives for the owners to channel closed real estate on the market, the Minister of National Economy and Finance spoke of a package of measures. In addition to the tax aspect – as any new tax measures will be announced by the Prime Minister at the TIF – Mr Pierrakakis mentioned social consideration and complete imprinting of state ownership.

“Through the ERAD, about 36,000 properties will fall on the market, along with banks and servicers’ properties.” The minister said and focused on the need to create an institutional framework that would use the inactive public institutions.

‘We need an offer shock’ He said characteristically. “The institutional framework and the management of public real estate should all be done together at speed.”

3+1 points to attract more investment

Detailed reference to the 3 + 1 points of the strategy to be followed for even greater results was made by the Minister:

– Remove obstacles from the economy. Greece remains a bureaucratic country. 2,000 procedures have been digitized, another 3,500 state services are pending to citizens and businesses
– Utilize public property by imprinting and active management. Hypermalion has assets 12 billion euros
– to develop entire sectors of the economy based on strategic plan
– to lift obstacles at a pan -European level between the European Union Member States between the Member States of the European Union
