Greek households are faced with a series of issues, such as the demographic crisis, multiple short-term crises, the increasing variety of financial products, and the multiple uncertainties caused by inflation, unemployment, wage levels, pension levels, as well as the level – both financial and qualitative – of healthcare coverage.
How can Greek households adjust their financial behavior to address the various risks while also taking advantage of the opportunities available to promote their economic well-being?
These questions are answered in the event organized by Professor Michael Haliassos in collaboration with the Node, with the generous sponsorship of Accenture Greece.
