90 days that will judge the TIF package (graph)

The 90-day « truce » on duties opened the US and EU negotiation window, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis clearly showing the Greek position for a Win-Win agreement, which could ideally come up with a framework for zero duties in products from and from the United States.

Greece is drawn up with the moves and decisions of the Commission while the account will be seen after three months when the « truce » expires.

In Athens, the financial staff focuses on a series of moves that need to be made to further shield the economy, which is mainly threatened by secondary impacts, as the volume of Greek exports to the US is relatively limited.

It is less than 5% of Greek exports, it is € 2.4 billion, ie 1% of GDP and relate to agri -food products mainly olive oil, olives and feta as well as aluminum, cement and petroleum.

The secondary impacts, which can result from a change in global political economy and international economic relations, relate to the international uncertainty that affects investment, the possibility of recession in major economies (US and Germany) that will have an impact on the Greek economy and the development of the Greek economy and the development of the negotiations.

Developments in the negotiations on the EU and US duties, the escape clause and extra revenue from tax evasion will define the fiscal space for taxation and benefits planned by the government.
