These are the targets that matter — for prosperity, equality, and happiness. They can be reached from the left or from the right. What they cannot be reached from is inaction.
Greece is not a poor country. It has educated people, extraordinary geography, and full membership of one of the richest clubs in human history. And yet, for fifty years, its citizens have grown poorer relative to their European neighbours — not from bad luck, but from political systems that reward short-term promises over structural change, that protect incumbents over newcomers, and that measure success by the state's own activity rather than citizens' lives.
This scorecard is published by one person — not a party, not a think tank, not a lobby. Its only agenda is the wellbeing of Greek citizens. Each target can be reached from the political left or the right — through more state or less, through higher taxes or lower, through social democratic or liberal economic policy. What they cannot be reached through is drift, clientelism, or the slow comfortable decline that has defined Greek governance for fifty years.
Many of the KPIs on this scorecard were directly proposed or inspired by Pedro Santa Clara — Professor of Finance at Nova School of Business and Economics in Lisbon — in his June 2026 article laying out a practical reform agenda for Portugal.
Santa Clara's diagnosis of Portugal applies word-for-word to Greece: fifty years of state-as-entrepreneur, captured professions, regulatory moats protecting incumbents, and a fiscal and bureaucratic labyrinth that crushes small entrepreneurs while large groups absorb it. Both countries have been pursuing policies that have made their citizens poorer relative to their European neighbours — not from lack of resources, but from lack of structural reform.
His framework — zero-base review of every public institution, output contracts for agency heads, tax simplification, subsidy elimination, housing supply, and labour flexibility with a genuine safety net — translated directly into the targets on this site. The adaptation for Greece adds the weight of the debt legacy, the severity of the judicial crisis, and the depth of the trust deficit, which are more acute here than in Portugal.

Each chart shows Greece's performance from 2020, with targets for 2030 and 2035. The dashed markers are the goals; the solid line is reality. Select a pillar to focus, then choose between the three core KPIs every voter should know, or expand to the full set for a deeper picture.
The key insight from the evidence: several reforms are triple-wins — they drive prosperity, reduce inequality, and increase happiness simultaneously, through the same causal mechanism. These should be the priority regardless of which party governs. The dots show the strength of causal evidence for each outcome (●●●● = very strong, ○ = weak or conditional).
