According to the President of the Parliamentary Committee on Refugees, Nikos Kettiros, €31 million from the budget of the Fair Burden Sharing Fund (FIKΒ) was not absorbed and returned to the state in 2025. This amount adds to a total of €210 million that has not been absorbed over the past five years. Mr. Kettiros emphasized that this validates AKEL's recent initiative to remove time restrictions on applying for interest rate subsidies at FIKΒ, an initiative that did not receive the support of other parties.
