“Rising interest rates”
Regarding the rise in interest rates, Mr. Skylakakis stressed that, “we are not worried about the budget. The impact of the current interest rate situation is small in terms of the budgetary implication. Most of our debt is at fixed interest rates. Rising interest rates help restore the dollar-euro balance, which affects accuracy and GDP».

When asked by the journalist about report from the Commission and the remarks made about the Greek economy and the forecast that our country will definitely need an additional budget, that is, new expenses for the support of households, the Deputy Minister of Finance pointed out that “What the European Commission is recording is that the money we have put into the deficit has not yet been included in the budget. Money goes to the stream.
