[To ease the pressure on living costs, the Greek government launches a “national price reduction plan”] On September 1, according to multiple media reports, the Greek government announced the launch of a “national price reduction plan” on the 31st local time to reduce people’s living costs. According to the agreement reached between the government and merchants, about 1,700 types of commodities will participate in price reductions, with an average price reduction of 7%. Some commodities can be discounted by up to 30%, including food, daily necessities, and school supplies. Relevant measures will last from 2 to 4 months. It is reported that Greece has experienced a debt crisis that has lasted for more than 10 years, the economy continues to be under pressure, and the growth of residents' income has long lagged behind the EU average. The latest data shows that Greece's annual inflation rate was 3.4% in July, with rising energy prices caused by conflicts in the Middle East being the main driving factor. Against this background, the Greek government has previously taken measures to reduce fuel prices. (CCTV Finance)
