What CNBC saw in Athens: The fear of the Greeks
Extensive reports on the emerging concerns of Greeks about the sudden and high rise in prices were published by the American network CNBC, which notes that for some citizens the situation that is forming in recent months awakens from the first days of the crisis.
Nearly four years after the country exited the last diffusion program, people have once again begun to worry about their economic prospects, he points out to CNBC. Hence some are more careful about how they spend their money. “Especially in gasoline and electricity. “While I used to usually forget about the water heater open, now I have to be very strict with myself,” a woman living in Greece told CNBC.
She went on to say: “We have already spent a decade under a lot of financial pressure and I think it would be disastrous to go through this process again. I am mainly afraid of my salary and whether there will be cuts again. At the same time, rents are very high, while during the financial crisis it was not, and it has become very difficult to be able to support myself “.
The statement of this woman seems to summarize the feelings of many more Greeks, who see the prices increase rapidly, as CNBC finds out. However, although in general the outlook for the entire European economy is not positive, analysts are not yet ringing the alarm bells for Greece.
An analyst, speaking to CNBC, claims that Greek banks are in a much stronger position than at the beginning of the crisis and notes that Athens receives most of the Recovery Fund funds, which will boost public investment. . At the same time, however, as other analysts speaking to CNBC note, there may be other support measures for citizens.
