He noted the labour ministry will be in charge of the biggest part of this programme, while also running several individual sub-programmes.
Regarding the cheap housing loans, he said this programme will begin with 500 million euros, of which three quarters will be given by the Public Employment Service and be interest-free, while banks will put up the remaining 25 pct. The banks will also be responsible for selection based on specific criteria and the interest rate will be extremely low, as 75 pct of the loan will be interest-free.
