Culture, sport and religion in Greece
1 public buyers declaring "Recreation, culture and religion" as their main activity in their TED notices, with at least ten supply contract award notices since November 2023. The most notices first.
In proportion
General government spending on goods, services and investment for recreation, culture and religion in Greece came to €885 million in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.
