Audiovisual Production in Greece: Trends, Economic Contribution and Growth Prospects

2026-10-01T08:55:28+00:00

Τhe audiovisual sector as a whole and, more specifically, the production of audiovisual works excluding TV and radio broadcasting activities have recorded strong growth in Greece over the past decade. In the latter segment, both enterprise turnover and employment more than doubled over the period 2013–2024, reaching €745 million and 12.7 thousand employees, respectively, in 2024. The domestic digital games industry is also showing signs of growth, although it remains at a relatively early stage compared with other European countries. Public funding, and particularly the cash rebate investment incentive, has played an important role in attracting investment and strengthening [...]

The Multiple Dimensions of Inequality in Greece

2026-06-18T08:25:45+00:00

In recent years, following the debt crisis and alongside a general improvement in macroeconomic indicators, a decline in income inequality has also been observed in Greece, as recorded by the standard Gini index. However, numerous surveys based on households' subjective assessments paint a less satisfactory picture. As this contradiction between statistical improvement and perceptions warrants further investigation, this study utilizes microdata from the EU-SILC and aggregate data from Eurostat and other national and European sources to look beyond standard income inequality indicators, focusing on five interconnected areas: the labor market, education, health, long-term care, and housing. According to [...]

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 [...]
