“Injection” of 16 Billion Euros Into 7 Strategic Sectors of The Greek Economy

Specifically, the initial budget of the 2026-2030 Program, which comes only from national resources, amounts to 12.827 billion euros, while it will reach 16.198 billion euros and will be used for new development interventions throughout the territory, as well as five-year expenditure of projects that were included in the co-financed part of the Public Investment Development Program and are financed exclusively from national resources.

It will also be used to transfer projects included in the 2021-2025 National Development Program with zero or limited eligible expenditure, with the aim of maturing and including them in the 2026-2030 National Development Program.

It is noted that the over-commitment strategy aims to ensure the full absorption of available resources, compensating for possible delays or cancellations of projects.

As stated in the draft submitted for public consultation by the Alternate Minister of National Economy and Finance Nikos Papathanasis, the 2026-2030 Program is being shaped based on the country’s strategic plan to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of the Greek economy, the consolidation of socially just development, the national strategy for local and regional development, the annual and medium-term fiscal possibilities, as well as the lessons and experience from the implementation of the 2021-2025 Program.

The consultation will last until November 13.
