Greek banks must come up with proposals to actively support citizens who face a lot of financial pressures due to high inflation and the rise in the cost of money, Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras told them on Thursday, giving bankers a two-week deadline to do so, ANA reports.
According to a bank statement, Staikouras met anew with heads of systemic Greek banks, along with Bank of Greece and Hellenic Bank Association representatives. Present from the ministry was Secretary General for Fiscal Policy Thanos Petralias, Special Secretary for Private Debt Management Marialena Athanasopoulou, and Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Michael Arghyros.
After his meeting with bank representatives, Staikouras said that the challenges for the Greek public are overwhelming and the financial system should lend a hand in supporting the incomes of citizens under pressure, as the government is doing.
