In conclusion, ‘A. Skertsos underlined, according to information, the need to speed up and at the same time enrich government actions with new policies that respond to new problems and demands that the citizens themselves put to the government. Exactly, this need is served, after all, by the revision of the Ministries’ Annual Action Plans for 2024, he observed. In this regard, the review responds to the major challenges that the government is called upon to face even more targeted with its policies. In particular, the challenge of the demographic issue, the cost of housing, the climate crisis, the gaps in the labor market, the improvement of the country’s trade balance and the further increase in investments.

Finally, during his presentation, the Minister of State took stock of the first 12 months of the government’s second four-year term: based on the monitoring mechanism of government work, 42% of the commitments for the current year have been implemented, namely 29 reforms and 25 major public investments.
