The Multiple Dimensions of Inequality in Greece

2026-06-08T10:25:14+00:00

This study systematically examines inequality in Greece over the 2015–2025 period across six interconnected sectors, namely income, the labour market, education, health, long-term care, and housing. It draws on both microdata from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) survey and the Labour Force Survey (LFS), as well as aggregate statistical data from Eurostat and other national and European sources. The aim is to trace the evolution of inequality over a decade and to highlight the structural particularities of the Greek economy. The study's central argument is that inequality, beyond the standard income inequality indicators, [...]

Productivity and Growth: Analysis of Trends and Sectors of the Greek Economy

2026-05-15T10:14:38+00:00

The Greek economy is currently facing a structural productivity problem that limits its potential for sustainable growth and convergence with Europe. Despite the recovery of recent years, labor productivity in 2024 remains roughly at the 2000 level, while the gap with the EU average has widened. At the same time, the growth of the Greek economy has been driven mainly by an increase in employment and less by improvements in productivity, a fact that limits the potential for sustainable income growth and long-term convergence with Europe. Boosting productivity has a positive impact on wages and is an essential prerequisite [...]

Household Savings Account for Investment in Capital Markets

2026-05-15T09:39:28+00:00

We propose two complementary voluntary long-term savings programs for the general public, with tax incentives, following international best practices. Firstly, an Individual Savings Account (APEL) for long-term investments in portfolios of securities that meet certain criteria. Secondly, a Children’s Savings Account (PAPEL) upon the birth of each child, allowing for regular contributions from parents that are proportionally subsidized by the government, with funds invested for the long term and available for use without any tax burden when the child reaches adulthood. The implementation of targeted incentives for long-term savings can serve as a powerful growth driver for the Greek [...]

The Brewing industry in Greece: Trends, contribution to the economy and challenges

2026-03-31T10:07:02+00:00

The brewing industry is one of the most important sectors of the domestic food and beverage industry. Following a path of growth, the sector has strengthened its presence in the Greek economy and, overcoming consecutive crises, continues to support, directly and indirectly, thousands of jobs throughout the country. Over the last 25 years, the domestic beer market has undergone significant structural changes. The increase in the number of microbreweries from the mid-2000s to the present day has given rise to new production and product diversification models, contributing to the expansion of the consumer mix with more specialized products. The [...]

The contribution of Uber to the economy of Greece, after 10 years of presence

2026-03-04T09:15:48+00:00

This study seeks to quantify Uber’s contribution to the Greek economy over its ten-year presence. Uber achieved fast expansion in Greece, generating significant economic impact of €110 million in terms of GDP, and 6,900 FTEs in the economy. Beyond measuring impact, the study outlines a clear policy path: streamline Greece’s regulation to align more closely with EU practices. Digital platforms and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) can boost transport efficiency and reduce unnecessary trips. The ride-hailing legislation in Greece is excessively restrictive (3-hour minimum trip duration, return to garage requirement, minimum prices). Portugal’s 2018 ride-hailing reform achieved significant results [...]

Housing in Greece: Trends, challenges, and prospects

2026-03-30T15:14:35+00:00

The study provides a comprehensive overview of historical patterns and recent developments in the housing sector in Greece and highlights housing affordability as an issue of increasing importance for economic and social cohesion. While the recovery in prices and the strengthening of investment activity reflect renewed interest in the housing market, the analysis indicates that housing costs are rising faster than incomes for a significant share of the population. These developments are examined in the context of the long-standing structural characteristics of the housing system, the legacy of the economic crisis, changing conditions in the rental market, and [...]
