In the context of escalating tensions in the Middle East, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is scheduled for a monthly briefing at the Presidential Palace today to update President of the Republic. One of the key topics on the agenda is the potential economic repercussions of the ongoing war in Iran, with the government keen to proactively manage the situation.

According to sources, announcements aimed at alleviating financial strain on citizens are forthcoming, especially in anticipation of a potential 'wave' of price increases and inflation resulting from the conflict. The recent polling data indicates that inflation was already a primary concern for the government even before the outbreak of the war, highlighting the urgency to address rising living costs, which could further escalate due to global unrest.

Authorities are particularly focused on preventing price gouging, as many citizens have rushed to fuel stations fearing rapid increases in petrol prices, or potential shortages stemming from the war. However, government officials reassure that there is no reason for alarm over fuel supplies, indicating preparedness to manage the situation as it unfolds.
