The reduction of six basic fees charged by banks for online transactions by customers, whether individuals or businesses, that were implemented as of January 20 were among the government achievements Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis noted in his weekly social media post on Sunday.
In the regular review of his government’s work, Mitsotakis underlined that the government would not allow a repeat of a case like the unannounced shutdown of the public medicine dispensary of EOPYY. Staff shut down the dispensary without notifying superiors or the public, particularly people who rely on it for serious illnesses.
Mitsotakis also highlighted the shutdown of 392 land registry offices, whose services were absorbed by the National Cadaster (Ktimatologio) site online. “Citizens will now use a single public service for any property transaction throughout Greece – the Cadaster offices, where 90% of procedures are carried out online,” the premier said.
The Greek PM additionally mentioned three key investments in Greece: by Telecom (3 billion euros to 2027 to expand the fiber optics network, 5G, and strengthen Greece’s connectivity), Metlen Energy & Metals of the Mytilineos Group (295.5 million euros for the production of gallium, an important component for semiconductors), and the American giant Chevron (expression of interest in searching for natural gas deposits SW of the Peloponnese up to the west of Crete).
