Greece: A New Index to Measure and Reduce Bureaucracy
The Greek government has announced the creation of a new tool to improve the functioning of the public sector. This is the "Bureaucracy Reduction Index," which will measure the progress made in simplifying procedures for citizens and businesses.
This new index will systematically monitor how quickly unnecessary paperwork and delays in public services are being reduced. In this way, the government aims to understand which services are operating effectively and which require more changes to become more user-friendly.
For many years, bureaucracy has been one of the greatest obstacles to the country's economic growth. With the introduction of this measure, the authorities hope to make Greece more attractive for new investments and, above all, to facilitate the daily lives of Greek citizens in their dealings with the state.
This move is part of a broader effort for the country's digital transformation. The goal of the reform is to create a modern public sector that operates with transparency and speed, offering quality services to all residents of Greece.
