Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the Finance Ministry on Monday morning, where he was welcomed by the new minister, Kyriakos Pierrakakis. Following their meeting, Mitsotakis stressed that additional revenue generated from efforts to combat tax evasion would be returned to citizens.
“This revenue will be given back either through tax cuts or increased public investments. Citizens should know they will see the benefits,” the prime minister said.
He emphasized that it is time for people to experience the positive impact of Greece’s macroeconomic progress, while reaffirming that fiscal stability remains non-negotiable as it underpins the government’s economic and development policy.
Mitsotakis also congratulated Pierrakakis on his new role, highlighting that his visit comes in the wake of Moody’s recent upgrade of Greece’s credit rating to investment grade – a milestone he described as a “significant national success.”
For his part, the finance minister acknowledged global economic challenges while reaffirming Greece’s national priorities, particularly the fight against tax evasion through advanced technological tools.
“We know how to achieve this – through new measures and a comprehensive legislative framework,” Pierrakakis said.
