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 [...]

Digital payments in Greece: One decade of rapid expansion

2026-03-04T09:17:53+00:00

In Greece, the period 2015-2024 saw the second fastest growth in card usage in the EU-27. The share of cash use in the economy as a whole has declined, but the degree of use of electronic payments varies across transaction categories, even for those where targeted incentives have been implemented. Reinforcing the findings of previous studies, the analysis highlights the continuing impact of payment card use on improving tax compliance, with no let-up after the pandemic and especially after the inter-connection between POS terminals and the tax authorities in 2024, as well as on the increase in tax revenues [...]

The benefits of energy upgrading of buildings and its contribution to the greek economy

2026-04-17T11:24:17+00:00

The energy upgrade of buildings is a critical pillar of energy and climate policy. The planned investments in energy upgrading of buildings in the period 2025-2050 are estimated to contribute €961 million annually to GDP, while in terms of employment, the average annual contribution is estimated at 28,280 jobs. The policy for the energy upgrade of buildings should be supported by a predictable regulatory framework with clear implementation timetables. The effectiveness of the design and provision of subsidies and other incentives, as well as adequate funding are equally important. With a view to achieving national policy objectives for the [...]
