In Kathimerini.gr, the Centre for Liberal Studies (KEFiM), as part of the Epicenter network, highlighted in its new policy paper that Greece’s pension system remains heavily reliant on current workers’ contributions (57%) and general taxation (43%), with similar unfunded patterns observed in the EU institutions themselves. The analysis criticises the lack of proper capitalisation and reserves, noting that EU staff pensions have surged 183% in real terms since 2000 and are largely funded directly from the current EU budget rather than accumulated funds.
