“The surplus will be larger than the target. The outperformance of the economy will be returned to citizens with targeted support.” This was pointed out, among other things, by the Minister of Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis, in an interview from Washington, D.C., on ERT television. Adding that “the government’s strategy that we have been following for a long time now is what? On the one hand to be able to take regulatory measures like the cap. On the other hand, to be able to support people’s disposable income with your policy more generally, not just the here and now, by managing a crisis.”
And he also said that “we will wait to see the final figures, we will wait to see what the available fiscal space is, we will relate our assessment to what is happening in the Straits of Hormuz, to what is happening in the coordinates of this energy crisis, and we will certainly intervene accordingly. Depending on what that space is going to be.”
