Greek Prime Minister unveils four-year economic reform plan

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a comprehensive four-year economic plan during the Thessaloniki International Fair on September 5, 2026. The program, which includes structural reforms for the public sector, agricultural support, and family benefits, aims to strengthen the income of various social groups, including freelancers, pensioners, and employees in both the private and public sectors.

The initiative involves a total fiscal commitment of 2.2 billion euros. Mitsotakis emphasized that these measures are designed to fit within the existing fiscal framework to ensure economic stability and avoid exceeding European spending limits, which could trigger renewed oversight. The government describes this strategy as a consistent "return calendar" that balances social support with fiscal responsibility.

The implementation of these measures is scheduled to begin in the autumn of 2026, with specific actions set to be detailed starting September 25, 2026. The plan is positioned as a core element of the administration's long-term agenda to modernize state services and provide relief to vulnerable populations throughout the remainder of their current term.
