Key announcements from the speech
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis used his address to present a vision extending to 2031. He said the government would deliver tangible benefits from economic growth without compromising budget discipline. The speech referenced opposition addresses by Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis as having shaped parts of the government's rhetoric.
Mitsotakis, appearing for the eighth time as premier at the fair, focused on 2027 and the following four-year period. Measures include reduced presumptive income taxes for professionals who meet their obligations and supplementary payments to pensioners and civil servants.
Political context
The appearance comes amid ongoing domestic debate over economic policy. Mitsotakis positioned the proposals as the start of a broader period of social return after years of fiscal consolidation. No detailed figures or implementation timelines were provided in the address.
Next steps
Further details on the measures are expected in the coming months as the government prepares its 2027 budget framework.
