The government’s goal is recovery of the investment grade in 2023, deputy government representative Aristotelia Peloni told SKAI 100.3, in response to a question about Spain’s announcements that it will abolish VAT on basic necessities for the next six months.
He pointed out that the government in Spain has less debt while the Greek government wants a primary surplus in the new year.
Responding to a question about the SYRIZA amendment that calls for a reduction in VAT on food, Mrs. Peloni emphasized that one should consider what a reduction in VAT would mean for public revenues.
“We are talking about a loss of state revenues of the order of 3.5 billion for 2023 which would also be missing from the support measures for the weakest” pointed out Mrs. Peloni.
“The opposition will have to answer what taxes they would raise to do this,” the government spokeswoman said.
Finally, he pointed out that in terms of energy, in 2022 Greece is by far the EU country that has supported businesses and households the most in terms of GDP, through various schemes.
