The new package of tax breaks and income support for large categories of citizens that will be effective from January 1, 2026, as well as the rent refund and the payment of an additional 250 euros to pensioners that were announced earlier this year will be incorporated into the draft of the new budget which is expected to be submitted to Parliament on Monday.
The draft of the 2026 budget will send the message that the economic policy of the next year will also serve a dual objective: on the one hand, the maintenance of high growth rates, and on the other hand, the achievement of strong fiscal performance that ensures primary surpluses that are utilized for the gradual reduction of public debt and the return of a social dividend to the vulnerable and relief to the middle class.
Thus, according to information, the draft of the new budget will predict that the Greek economy will grow at a rate of 2.4% in 2026. This is a performance higher than the 2.2% expected this year.
