Amid ongoing concerns over the cost of living, a recent IELKA (Consumer Goods Retail Research Institute) study has brought a glimmer of hope to the government, revealing a decline in supermarket prices across a wide range of products. The survey indicates that prices began easing in May following stringent pricing measures implemented earlier in March.

While cautiously acknowledging these positive developments, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressed Eurogroup President Pascal Donohiou at Maximos Palace yesterday, emphasizing the significance of these reductions amidst persistent inflation, particularly in essential food items.

Mr. Mitsotakis, focusing on improving everyday life after recent governmental challenges, urged ministers for tangible progress in citizen-centric policies.

Looking ahead, the Prime Minister’s agenda includes discussions on labor reforms and support for low-income pensioners, underscoring his commitment to addressing pressing issues directly affecting Greek households.

In health sector developments, Minister Adonis Georgiadis initiated reforms allowing NHS doctors to engage in private practice concurrently, aiming to enhance motivation within the healthcare system. Additionally, the announcement of 10,000 new teaching positions underscores ongoing efforts to strengthen educational infrastructure ahead of the new academic year.
