Piraeus Chamber evaluation of Greek budget draft

Overview

The Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EBEP) has reviewed the 2027 budget draft submitted to the Greek Parliament. The draft focuses on accelerating economic growth, reducing public debt, and de-escalating inflation.

Key business measures include tax relief for freelancers, a reduction in tax advances, the abolition of occupation tax in certain regions, and accelerated depreciation for machinery. The plan also proposes a 1.5 billion euro loan and guarantee program for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Socially, the draft outlines reductions in social security contributions, a 2 billion euro housing program, and a phased increase of the minimum wage to 1,000 euros by early 2028. EBEP noted that the success of these measures depends on operating costs, disposable income, and SME access to financing.
