Real estate and income taxes totaling more than 74 million per year are paid in Greece by more than 141,000 natural persons who reside in the USA and have a Greek tax number, as stated by Giorgos Pitsilis, who participated in the panel entitled, "Updating the Diaspora on Greece's Taxation & Customs System", as part of the Capital Link – Invest in Greece Forum held in New York.

A deficit of 7 billion euros was recorded in the budget in the first 9 months of this year, as a result of the pandemic and the lockdown.

Main opposition, New Democracy is planning a drastic intervention in the exorbitant taxes that burden the Greek economy and do not allow for high growth rates.
