- -Improving liquidity in the economy through actions for the return of bank deposits, management of non-performing loans and lifting of capital controls.
- -Front-loaded implementation of structural reforms to increase investments and the economy?s outward orientation.
- -Change of policy mix, with tax and cost cuts and a more effective State, as well as a negotiation with Greece?s lenders to claim a reduction in targets for primary surpluses effective as of this year, not from 2023.
- -Seek clarification on the measures to reduce pubic debt, so as to endure its sustainability, with medium-term primary surpluses at 2 percent of GPD, not at 3.5 percent accepted by the current government.
