    Integrity in Political Finance in Greece

    Money in politics is a double-edged sword. It is a necessary component of the democratic process, enabling the expression of political support as well as allowing for competition in elections. Yet, if the financing of political parties and election campaigns are not adequately regulated and monitored, money may also be a means for powerful special interests to capture the policy process. This report provides an in-depth analysis of the political finance mechanisms in Greece, drawing on international standards and good practices. It provides concrete guidance on developing a solid legislative framework and an effective oversight mechanism for political finance. Finally, the report suggests ways to improve integrity in the short and medium term.

    Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees in Athens

    Migrants, including native-born children with migrant parents, account for 23% of Athens’ population (664 046 people), while the number of refugees and asylum seekers has rapidly increased since 2015 and is currently estimated at 18 000. To respond to the refugee inflow, Athens developed bold and innovative initiatives, often beyond their direct responsibilities, and sought supra-national and non-state sources of funding (i.e. Stavros Niarchos Foundation, British American Tobacco, etc.). This emphasis on reception and integration of newcomers is the result of strong political will and cooperation with non-state actors, in line with the city's broader priorities since 2010 including anti-discrimination and improving equal access to social services. Integrating newcomers through jobs is particularly challenging given the high unemployment rate that Greece has experienced. In addition, newcomers often have the desire to continue their journey towards northern European countries, reducing their incentives to integrate and learn Greek.
    While identifying various innovative practices, the OECD case study of Athens highlights the need for more reliable sources of financing and dialogue among levels of government. Data on migrant integration at the local level would support more evidence-based national, regional and local policy making.

    L’économie de la Grèce se redresse. Améliorer la viabilité de la dette, lutter contre la pauvreté et stimuler l’investissement sont autant de mesures essentielles pour entretenir la dynamique positive.

    Selon l’ODCE, la Grèce commence à sortir de la profonde dépression économique qu’elle a connue, après avoir mené des réformes considérables. La croissance économique reprend, stimulée par les exportations. Les réformes du marché du travail ont amélioré la compétitivité et favorisent la création d’emplois longtemps attendus. La croissance du PIB devrait s’affermir et rester au-dessus de 2 % en 2018 et 2019.

    Bénéficiant d’un corps enseignant qualifié et dévoué, d’élèves de 15 ans motivés et faisant preuve d’un fort sentiment d’appartenance à leur école, et d’un taux d’abandon scolaire parmi les plus faibles de l’Union européenne, la Grèce est bien placée pour construire un système éducatif solide et inclusif.
