Significant progress in the area of structural reforms on the competition front is recorded in the latest OECD report on Greece, as mentioned by the Athens News Agency. 

According to the OECD's updated Product Market Regulation indicator, which measures distortions in competition, Greece recorded the largest improvement among OECD countries over the period 2018–2023. As noted, the regulatory framework is now close to the OECD average as a result of significant reforms.

However, as the latest Bank of Greece report on the Greek economy points out, there is still significant scope to make the regulatory framework in the services sector (especially lawyers) and retail trade more competitive.

In addition, the country should consider improving its mechanisms for assessing the impact of new and existing laws and regulations on competition, addressing its high non-tariff barriers to trade, and promoting alignment of the administrative framework of state-owned enterprises with OECD best practices aimed at ensuring competition is on a level playing field with private firms.
