In late July 2026 the Greek government intensified its effort to aid micro‑, small‑ and medium‑size enterprises. On 23 July the Finance Ministry, together with the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce, outlined a “Ten Commandments” agenda of tax reforms that would abolish trade‑license fees, lower corporate profit tax, introduce a two‑rate VAT system and provide investment incentives tied to tax‑free reserves or accelerated depreciation. The deputy minister emphasized that these measures would be funded by higher taxable turnover and would not add to the fiscal deficit.

Four days later, on 27 July, the Development Minister met the Athens Chamber to unveil a complementary package aimed at boosting productivity, competitiveness and financing for micro‑SMEs. Simultaneously, the government announced a summer price‑freeze on staple food and household items, followed by 5‑20 % reductions from 31 August, and a fuel‑subsidy scheme offering a total of 15 cents per litre to offset rising energy costs. Ministers linked the policies to upcoming inflation risks from external conflicts.
