Unpaid electricity bills are increasing day by day, with consumers unable to pay them.

Consumers are faced with rising prices, who amid rising energy and commodity prices are trying to figure out where to cut expenses to make ends meet.

From the beginning of the new year, it is clear that the capacities of households and businesses have been exhausted.

Research

The data brought to light by the most recent Eurobarometer are revealing, according to which the Greeks appear to be more anxious and with opinions that deviate more often from the European “line”.

85% of Greeks said they struggle to pay their bills at least “some of the time” (with 35% struggling “most of the time”) compared to 39% of the European average, of which just 9% struggle to meet their fixed costs “most of the time”. In fact, Greeks’ ability to cope with the cost of living seems to be linked to their view of the EU, as those facing the biggest problems also have the worst image of the bloc.

Similar discrepancies are recorded in the extent to which Greeks state that they were financially affected by the successive crises (geopolitical, health, cost of living) of recent years in relation to the European average. Specifically, 66% reported that they have already seen their living conditions deteriorate and 29% that they expect to see them deteriorate within the year, compared to 46% and 39% respectively for all participants from across Europe .

Therefore, it is perhaps not surprising that Greeks are among the most dissatisfied Europeans when it comes to dealing with punctuality both at national level (79% compared to 64% of the European average) and at EU level (77 % compared to 56% of the European average).
