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 study highlights the savings and investment "gap" recently recorded in Greece compared to other countries and highlights the importance of stimulating domestic investment through initiatives to strengthen the domestic capital market. In particular, it examines the European experience of providing tax incentives for domestic private investment through the capital market, and makes an indicative proposal for the provision of similar incentives in Greece. The indicative proposal includes two strands (a) targeted tax incentives for long-term private investment in domestic securities (e.g. domestic AIFs) and priority sectors such as SMEs, innovation-oriented companies, venture capital vehicles, green investments and infrastructure [...]
