Critically important metals are foundGreece’s potential as a major source of elements used in energy transition attracts investors Greece very likely has significant sources of metals and semimetals among the so-called “critical minerals” essential for the transition to clean energy, among other uses, officials at the Ministry of Environment and Energy believe.This belief was reinforced a couple of weeks ago by an “enthusiastic” presentation by UK-based Rockfire Resources PLC about the potential of its asset in Molaoi, southern Greece.The company had already announced last year that it had discovered deposits of germanium and gallium, two of the abovementioned “critical minerals,” in addition to lead, silver and zinc.

Greece at rock bottom in social housingWhen a law abolishing the Workers’ Housing Organization was passed in 2012 as part of a package of stringent austerity measures, Greece gave up the last tool of state intervention in the real estate market. So long as the rate of homeownership remained high, the recession continued to suppress property prices and interest rates stayed low, the housing problem could remain safely under the carpet.That is certainly no longer the case. The cost of buying or renting a house is rising exponentially and far outpacing any growth in incomes, and demand for residential property is outpacing supply, putting a tremendous amount of pressure on the 30% of the population that doesn’t have a home to call its own. And now the country is facing the challenge of essentially rebuilding the institution of social housing from scratch to address the crisis and cover the huge gap with other European countries, which have succeeded in raising the share of social housing to as much as 20-30%.
