China News Service, September 21. According to the Greek "China Greek Times" report, on the evening of September 20 local time, the National Public Health Organization of Greece announced that in the past 24 hours, there were 170 new confirmed cases of new crown in Greece, and the total number of confirmed cases reached 15,142. There are 7 new deaths, and a total of 338 deaths.

According to the report, almost every industry in Greece is affected by the new crown epidemic. While the Greek authorities are stepping up epidemic prevention, they are actively studying countermeasures to reduce the negative impact of the epidemic on the economy.

Data map: On May 18, local time, the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, reopened to the public, attracting tourists to visit.

　　According to the report, it is expected that by the end of 2020, more commercial real estate owners in Greece will need to accept the government's voluntary reduction of rents (partly borne by the state) and reach agreements with tenants.

　　Real estate professionals say that every owner must be aware of the severe situation and take action, otherwise Greece will easily stage the decade-long economic crisis of the 2010s again.

At that time, almost all shops in commercial districts such as Patision and Stadiou streets in the center of Athens had been closed for many years because all tenants had withdrawn.

　　This year’s situation is special, and the landlords have realized that the problem cannot be reproduced. Although some people do not approve of mandatory rent reductions for enterprises in industries such as culture and sports, transportation, tourism and catering services, there are also a large number of landlords who voluntarily reduce rents. Other owners responded to the government's New Deal.

Recent experience also shows that temporary rent reductions can largely protect landlords from the impact of tenants leaving.

　　In addition, according to Greek media reports, in response to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the Greek government will allocate about 10 billion euros for support measures for enterprises and employees.

　　Greek Finance Minister Stekulas said that the economic recession in Greece is not as severe as other countries, and pointed out that the Greek economy has a solid foundation and vitality in the past six months.

He said that the Greek government quickly adopted measures during the new crown crisis.

The new package of measures is expected to play a mitigating effect before the end of 2020.

　　Stekulas also said that the next phase of the Greek SME Guarantee Fund is expected to start in the near future.

In addition, Greece’s SYN-ERGASIA plan to strengthen employment and protect employment will be extended to the end of 2020.

　　He also affirmed the steady development of the tourism industry, he said: “(Greece) tourism revenue in the first half of the year was 680 million euros, in July it was 800 million euros, and in August it was about 1.5 billion euros. Tourism revenue is still satisfactory." In addition, Greece’s national budget revenue is higher than the initial target, so the economic recession rate in 2020 is expected to be about 8.0%.
