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.
