Source: ELSTAT - Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday announced a EUR 500 mn package of support measures, funded by a larger than expected surplus, as the government seeks to ease pressure on households facing high living costs. The announcement came after the Hellenic Statistical Authority recorded a budget surplus of EUR 4.29 bn, which gives the government additional fiscal space for targeted relief measures. The measures include an extension of fuel subsidies at 20 cents per litre for May and the continuation of fertilizer subsidies through August, covering 15% of purchase costs. Families with children will receive a EUR 150 per child emergency allowance at the end of June, while low-income pensioners, uninsured citizens, and people with disabilities will receive EUR 300 annually. Other measures include higher income thresholds for rent refunds, easing conditions for lifting bank account seizures once 25% of a debt has been repaid, and expanding eligibility for the out-of-court debt settlement mechanism to debts between EUR 5,000 and EUR 10,000, affecting an estimated 300,000 people.
