Greek ND governance, reforms & strategic goals through 2031

Overview

The Mitsotakis administration is advancing a broad reform agenda encompassing industrial, fiscal, and social security sectors ahead of the 2027 elections.

Fiscal enforcement via the AADE remains a priority, utilizing AI, drones, and geospatial data. Digitalization is expanding through new mandates: as of September 2026, bank account seizures are managed electronically via the Federation of Judicial Bailiffs, and by October 2026, all residential and commercial rent payments must be processed through the banking system to ensure transaction traceability. Parallel to these efforts, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority is investigating a €40 million tax fraud scheme involving 46 individuals and 152 companies using shell companies to secure illegal VAT and income tax refunds.

At the Thessaloniki International Fair, the government unveiled a comprehensive economic plan through 2030. Key fiscal measures include reducing tax advance payments for businesses and self-employed individuals, and a €1.5 billion allocation for SMEs. Social reforms scheduled for 2027 include the abolition of the ‘personal difference’ compensation for approximately 671,586 retirees to allow for full pension increases, and a progressive Retiree Solidarity Contribution (EAS) applying only to pensions exceeding 1,468 euros.

To support households, the government announced a €400 financial boost for 2.2 million retirees in November 2026, a permanent €400 annual increase for pensioners over 65, and a gradual minimum wage increase to €1,000 by 2028. Other initiatives include a €2 billion housing program, ‘Spiti mou 3’, and the potential abolition of ENFIA in small settlements.
