There are some astonishing numbers at the heart of the Greek economic crisis.
- Athens owes €200 billion in loans and 50 per cent of young people are unemployed.
- Greek people can only withdraw a maximum of €60 per day from their bank accounts.
- The actual income earned by a typical Greek citizen is 92 per cent higher than the income reported to the government. Tax evasion is endemic in Greece and a major contributor to the government’s budget shortfalls.
