TIF measures to reduce taxes and support for incomes cover the entire fiscal space for 2026, said the Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, speaking earlier to the House Committee on Economic Affairs on the draft budget of 2026.

Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance Thanos Petralias also referred to the budget area in the debate in Parliament. “We exhausted the area of ​​2026 as to the measures we could announce to the TIF,” Mr Petralias said. But he clarified that for 2027 “there is a margin of about 0.25% of GDP”, which has associated with defense spending, and which, he said, could be used for other policies, “whether more investments, general government needs or other measures”.

Mr Petralias informed the members of the Finance Committee that on November 20th, along with the budget, the multi -year budget planning would be submitted to Parliament. “There will also be the course of net primary expenses for the years 2027, 2028 on the medium -term horizon. It will be available to the parties, “the Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance said.

Previously, PASOK’s rapporteur Paris Koukoulopoulos had emphasized that it was the government’s obligation to inform all political forces in parliament “about the fiscal space available to the country and the conditions that can reduce it or grow it for the next year”. This is what the government must do, the PASOK MP said, given rumors of new benefits in March or April.

Shortly thereafter, SYRIZA’s rapporteur Nikos Pappas asked the financial staff to reply whether the government intends to use measures to discretion to increase public spending within the budgetary rules. He also requested information on the method of shaping the fiscal space.
