Support with “Good Morning” to three million families with a package of 2 billion euros

Following the same pattern that was launched 2019 And as things have gone so well, Mr. Mitsotakis gave “blue envelopes “and directives to his ministers, and directives shared with him Kostis HatzidakisAnnounced the first, which needs no introduction invoicewhich proves the level of preparation that has been done for the next four years.

It is about “Good Morning” to support three million families with one packageto rise 2 billion euroswhich is nothing more than the sum of the commitments made in the pre-election period of 2024.

In order to ensure the credibility of the program and its government, Mr prime ministerWithout wasting time announcing with the Minister of Finance the first decisive bill which will be presented with express measures to Parliament, so that it may be voted on before it closes for the summer.

Next year’s “package” brings relief 1.4 billion eurosWhile the possibility of legislation extending it is still open market pass For the second semester, something that adds an additional 600 million euros to the total bill, but raises the number of beneficiaries to more than 3 million families.

It concerns all retirees, civil servants, landlords who will insure their property, young people and recipients of benefits. What has become evident and is already being broadcast by the financial staff is that both benefits that will be implemented within 2023 (for example, market pass or exceptional financial support for vulnerable groups) as well as targets for 2024 will in no way jeopardize financial targets. For this year, the bar rises to at least 1% to send a message of stability to the markets, while the draft budget for 2024 will provide Initial excess of at least 2%.

The extension of the market entry permit for 2023 has not been announced, but the prime minister’s explicit indication to the Cabinet yesterday that measures would be taken to combat scrupulousness, particularly in food, brought implementation of the specific measure which is now ending, after all, closer. in July. But because prices food He did not back down, the provision of an additional 600 million euros to extend the measure until the end of the year is now a realistic and relatively easy plan to finance from the already recorded increase in tax revenues.

For 2024, the lion’s share of the €1.4 billion “package” is absorbed by increasing public sector salaries (about €500 million) and pensions (about €450 million based on assumptions so far regarding the path of inflation and GDP). Therefore, both civil servants and retirees – more than 2 million citizens – can look forward to increases of 3-4% that will offset (at least) inflation estimated for next year.

The 2024 Pack also includes its increase Tax-free to parents With kids. For those with one child there is a subsidy of 90 euros and for those with two or more children, 220 euros. The bill will also include a discount provided by ENFIA for those who insure their property. The procedure will be legislated to be implemented in the 2024 ENFIA liquidation.
