Greece’s state budget for 2021 essentially incorporates two years into one in the first quarter, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday in Parliament, ANA reports.
During his address in the plenary session before the vote on the new state budget, Mitsotakis noted that the government was focused on promoting reforms that will lead Greece back to a growth trajectory, but warned that execution of the budget depends on the exact duration of the pandemic.
Underlining that Greek society was at the core of concerns for the 2021 budget, the premier said that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the government was forced to follow two parallel paths – relieving the repercussions of the pandemic and continuing the reforms for medium-term development. The goal, he said was to end inequalities and increase public wealth to benefit all Greek people.
