Beyond the message he will address to farmers from the Budget podium, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to make extensive references to the positive measures he foresees for families and citizens more broadly, while his latest announcements on the acute housing problem will also be eagerly anticipated.

Already, Proto Thema two Sundays ago previewed the Prime Minister’s main ideas, emphasizing a large renovation program for vacant apartments with subsidies covering almost 90% of the cost, as well as incentives for developers to allocate newly built properties at low rent to citizens. It remains to be seen whether an additional restriction on short-term rental properties will also be announced.

Furthermore, according to corroborated sources, Mr. Mitsotakis is expected to announce a surprise measure that has not yet been leaked. According to a source with insider knowledge, it is “targeted” but also highly “tangible.” Of course, the Prime Minister will also remind the public of initiatives already implemented by the government (My Home programs, rental allowance, etc.), complementing them with the new initiatives.

More broadly, according to government officials, Mr. Mitsotakis will present the new budget as a roadmap connecting 2025 with 2027, with a view toward 2030, as he did in the recent session of the ND Parliamentary Group. For this reason, Mr. Mitsotakis will present, month by month, the measures to be implemented under the 2026 budget, which focus on strengthening the middle class, young people, and families.
