The report of the Pissarides committee proposes:
According to the Indicative Report of the 2023 Budget (p. 44) the growth rate of the Greek GDP in 2022 is estimated at 5.6% and in 2023 it is predicted at 1.8%. Cumulatively for the period 2022-2023 the growth rate of the Greek GDP is predicted to be close to 7.4%.
Accordingly (p. 114), public spending as a percentage of GDP in 2022 is estimated to have increased by 6% (compared to the previous year), and in 2023 it is projected to decrease by 2%, respectively. Cumulatively for the period 2022-2023 the increase in public expenditure is predicted to be close to 4%.
Accordingly (p. 113), tax revenues as a percentage of GDP in 2022 are estimated to have increased by 14% (compared to the previous year), and in 2023 are projected to increase by 4%, respectively. Cumulatively for the period 2022-2023 the increase in tax revenue is predicted to be close to 18%.
Therefore, the proposal is assessed as partially implemented, as the rate of increase in tax revenues largely exceeds the corresponding increase in GDP, while the increase in expenditures is lower.
