Kostis Hatzidakis, the Minister of Economy and Finance, referred to the Prime Minister's announcements at the TIF and the state of the Greek economy.

Initially, Mr. Hatzidakis, speaking to SKAI, pointed out that the government is not going to Thessaloniki with the logic of "handing out gifts," but with the emphasis on "key and burning issues, such as housing, demographics, and climate change," responding to the just demands of certain social groups based on the fiscal strength of the country.

He even revealed that the Greek government has asked the Commission to increase the budget for expenditure. "At the beginning of the summer we received a letter from the European Commission that we can increase spending this year by 3 billion euros. We are arguing that they can increase more, with the final negotiation being concluded today. What I can tell you is that of the 3 billion, 1 billion will be allocated to an increase in regular budget spending, while an additional 1 billion will go to pensions and 850 million to the Belharra frigates."

Regarding AirBnB, Mr. Hatzidakis clarified that "our intention is not to incriminate anyone,"  saying that the measures announced by Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be weighed and fair. He added that at the moment there are three different registers for private debt underway, one to banks, one to the state, and a third that will "marry" the two.
