ATHENS, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Dozens of foreign pensioners will become tax residents in Greece this spring, according to the Finance Ministry, as the country steps up efforts to tap into the fast-growing "silver economy", which refers to the set of products and services that people will consume when they are old.
The shift to the silver economy could bring into Greece about 13.6 billion euros (16.2 billion U.S. dollars) and create over 100,000 new jobs in a five-year period, according to a study conducted by the Athens-based Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in association with the local DiaNEOsis think tank, Thodoris Georgakopoulos, editorial director at DiaNEOsis, told a recent forum here.
