Greece: Economic reforms, pension updates, and social aid

Overview

Greece is advancing extensive economic and social welfare reforms. Legislative proposals for 2026/2027 include a 0.5 percentage point reduction in private sector social security contributions starting April 2027, and a 0% tax rate for three-child families and farmers earning up to €20,000. A sweeping tax-cut package aims to increase disposable income, potentially exempting individuals under 25 earning up to €20,000. Additionally, the minimum wage is scheduled to reach €1,000 by 2028.

Social aid remains a central focus. The government has confirmed a €400 one-time, tax-free bonus for approximately 2.3 million pensioners to be distributed by late November 2026. For 2027, main pensions are projected to rise by 2.9% to 3% due to inflation. A major reform involves the complete abolition of the ‘personal difference’ (prosopiki diafora) mechanism, which previously offset annual increases; this phase-out includes a 50% reduction starting January 2026, with total elimination by January 2027. While main pensions rise, supplementary pensions (ETEAEP) are expected to remain frozen due to zero-deficit clauses.

Recent benefit cycles include massive distributions by e-EFKA and DYPA in late October 2026, totaling over €2.5 billion for pensions, unemployment, and maternity benefits. The DYPA has also opened applications for the 2026 Special Seasonal Allowance for specific sectors, such as tourism and construction. Upcoming support includes rent rebates of up to €800 (plus child increments) by late November 2026, and the first ‘Market Pass’ electronic food vouchers, which could reach €1,000 for some beneficiaries, slated for distribution before Christmas 2026.
