Greeks only cover basic needs

Greeks mostly work to pay bills and taxes, and even when they do shop, it is mainly to acquire basic food commodities, according to a survey by the Electronic Business Research Center (ELTRUN) of the Athens University for Economics and Business for the Association of Business and Retail Sales of Greece (SELPE).

The survey found that 74 percent of consumers part with over 80 percent of their monthly disposable income, while 10 percent spend more than 100 percent of their income, which means they borrow to cover their needs.

The internet plays a key role in consumer behavior. This is not only thanks to online purchases but also due to its use for market research, including checking reviews by other consumers.
