Data releases
Every time an anchor, a source or a formula changes, the figures move. This is the full release history with what changed and by how much, so anyone who downloaded a CSV or embedded the chart can find their version and its difference from today's.
This page is about DATA releases. For changes to how the site works - new pages, improvements, copy corrections - there is a separate history. Changelog

Monthly pita-gyro price bulletin, with the September 2026 base issue
- A new monthly pita-gyro price bulletin, modelled on a monthly CPI release: pages /deltio and /en/deltio, one issue a month.
- Monthly Pita-Gyro Price Index with September 2026 = 100, from each shop's change against itself.
- The September issue is the base month: the level in 78 cities and the 8 to 25 September pilot comparison, not an official rate.
- Next issue on 4 November 2026, working day 3. No email. The annual Index does not change.
- New bulletin calendar from the November data: working day 2 after the last eligible reading day. October stays on 4 November 2026.
Full release notes
- A monthly pita-gyro price bulletin, modelled on a monthly CPI release. New pages /deltio and /deltio/2026-09, in Greek and English. The Monthly Pita-Gyro Price Index has September 2026 = 100 as its base and is chained from each shop's change against itself, under the v2 rules. The first issue, September 2026, is the base month: index 100, with no official monthly change because there was no regular reading in August. It shows the level in 78 cities, with an exact 95% interval in 48 of them. It also shows the 8 to 25 September pilot comparison, clearly marked as not an official rate: +0.25%, 95% interval from +0.18% to +0.34%, on 1,588 pairs. The official comparison is Eurostat's HICP for August 2026: restaurants and cafés +0.1% on the month and 5.1% on the year. One issue a month, on working day 3 of the following month; the next one is on 4 November 2026. Issues come as JSON and CSV that never change after publication, each with its SHA-256. The API is at /api/public/bulletin.json, with a bilingual note for every field. The page prints without a PDF, and the city table runs on to the next page without leaving a blank one. Percent changes are rounded by one rule, half away from zero, the same in the bulletin and in the rate table of the prices page. No email. The annual Index does not change.
- The Eurostat reading used for the comparison (prc_hicp_minr, 10 October 2026) is archived with SHA-256 in data/history/cpi/. prc_hicp_midx and prc_hicp_manr end in December 2025, so prc_hicp_minr (ECOICOP ver.2) is used.
- Monthly bulletin calendar change, announced on 10 October 2026. The October 2026 issue stays on Wednesday 4 November 2026, as announced. From the November 2026 data each issue comes out 2 working days after the month's last eligible reading day (days 25 to 28, a weekday that is not a holiday), instead of working day 3 of the following month. New dates, old ones in brackets: November 2026 → 1 December 2026 (3 December), December → 30 December 2026 (7 January 2027), January 2027 → 1 February 2027 (3 February), February → 2 March (3 March), March → 30 March (5 April), April → 4 May (6 May), May → 1 June (3 June), June → 30 June (5 July), July → 30 July (4 August), August → 31 August (3 September), September 2027 → 30 September 2027 (5 October). Why: in the October plan, from the reading on 26 October to release on 4 November, the 9 days are almost all calendar waiting, while a reading takes about 95 minutes. At least one full working day always separates the last possible reading from the release. Readings take place on the first eligible day at about 08:45, as for the 25 September base. The /api/public/bulletin.json API has a new release_rules field giving the month each rule takes effect from. The old release_rule.working_day stays and covers the October 2026 data only. The issue catalogue moves to schema v2. On the September issue page only the calendar texts change: the rule, and the date of the first annual change, now 30 September 2027 instead of 5 October 2027. The issue files are unchanged (same SHA-256). Labour Day 2027 falls on Holy Saturday: if it is moved, the April issue will need an announced calendar correction.
No change to the headline figures
What holds: corrections, 2026 thresholds and rules before the data
- Fixed what was in circulation wrongly: share cards with 218, the classic range in the exports, the 1976-1993 wage source.
- Peak and trough follow one rule: 1989 and 1985, 2025 and 2026 are named together.
- The 2026 page and year.json show how EUR 4.30 is made and when it would change.
- October's measurement rules are published before the data.
- A publication register and first_published in versions.json.
- The series does not change.
Full release notes
- /api/public/versions.json now gives each version a first_published field: the build time (UTC) of the first recorded publication on gyronomics.gr that served this version or a later one. date stays the day the version was prepared. The difference shows in the four versions from 28.9 to 5.10. They were prepared on those days, but the first recorded publication that served them is the build of 6.10.2026 at 10:15 UTC. For older versions the field stays null, because the build times of their publications were not recorded, and no guess takes their place. A new version also shows null until its publication is in the register, that is, until the next publication.
- Every publication of the site now goes into a register: which code, which data version and which checks passed. The register starts with 9 publications from 13.9.2026. The first 8 were back-filled from our notes, only where the notes recorded the identity of the code. The reason: on 6.10.2026 code with library upgrades went live without a recorded check result, and on 9.10 our notes still said no publication had happened. A check every 6 hours now finds which commit the site is serving. It fails if that commit did not pass the automated checks, or if it was not added to the register within 24 hours. It does not fail because the code being prepared is ahead of the site. The Index figures do not change.
- The share cards showed old figures. The rating card printed 218 gyros and a three-year change of −16.8%, while the series has said 214 and −16.7% since 25.9. The card of the 2019 article printed 308 and 218 instead of 306 and 214. The wages card still drew the classic minimum-wage peak at 511 in 1983; since 27.9 it is 505 in 1989. The three cards were regenerated from the series, together with the crisis card, which changes only in its release stamp. The series does not change.
- The image description on /axiologisi and /krisi, which travels with every share, was hand-written: "218 gyros a month" and "the pita gyro stands at 52". The series says 214 and 51. The title, description and alt of both pages now come from the series, and the crisis alt names its year (51 in 2025).
- The consistency check now also scans head meta: the title, description and alt of every page, and the title and description of every article. A gyro count, a price or a base-100 value that names no year of its own must be the latest year's figure. Every card that prints series figures leaves a record of what it printed, and the build compares it with the series. Numbers written as words, such as "four came back" and "three-year change", are tied to the series too.
- In the open data (data.json, data.csv, reproduction bundle) the only index range, index_min/index_max, was in era gyros. With the classic unit, 1976 showed 314 next to a 462-981 range and 1989 showed 505 next to 719-824. The index sat outside its own range, and this happened in every year from 1976 to 1994. New fields index_classic_min and index_classic_max were added (1976: 231-491, 1989: 472-541), and the field descriptions now say which range is in which unit. In the FAQ the range next to the classic index is now the classic one. For 2026 the figures stay at 194-238, because 2026 is the reference year of the classic gyro. No series figure changes.
- For 1983, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1992 the wage source read "Estimate obtained by deflating the 1989 wage backwards". The series has not used that method since 27 September. The other 13 years from 1976 to 1993 cited the year's act, which gives the wage on one date, not the 12-month mean. All 18 years now cite the monthly wage register that their wage comes from: in the table, on the year page, in the CSV, in data.json, in the year API and in the MCP server. The acts remain sources of the individual months, in the payroll_evidence field of data.json. The old ATA source stays in the catalogue, marked as a method no longer in the series. No figure changes.
- The table now has a separate wage asterisk. It marks the 11 years with grade-B months in the wage register (1981-1990 and 1992). Until now the wage was marked only through the old ATA source, in 5 years. 1984 and 1989, with 8 grade-B months each, had no mark at all. The asterisk next to the year now refers to the price only. 1983 loses that asterisk because its price is documented, and the mark moves to its wage, which has all 12 months at grade B. The year page shows, for example, "Wage: 4 A / 8 B months". The open data gain the columns wage_months_grade_a and wage_months_grade_b.
- The download links that the Data releases page declares to search engines pointed at data.json?v=…, which returns 409 once a newer release exists: 4 of 5 did not open. They now point at the immutable /datasets/<sha>/data.csv and bundle.json of each daily release's latest archive. A day without a frozen archive declares no download.
- The "Found an error?" form promised that a correction "goes into the next release". That was not true: no release since 29 August recorded a decision on a form submission. It now says that submissions are reviewed, with no promised date. If one changes a figure in the series, the change is recorded in the changelog with its source.
- The "Price and wage coverage" line read "August 2026". It was typed by hand on 28 August and never updated, although the 2026 price rests on a September reading. It is now derived from the data: price collection of September 2026 (the latest regular collection in the register), catering CPI to August 2026, minimum wage in force since 1 April 2026.
- Two 2022 source notes (Pricefox and Newsbeast) said "~9% catering inflation". The CP11.1.1 catering CPI the series uses for 2022 is 4.7%, and both notes now say so, in Greek and in English. The number is read from the series, not typed.
- The note under the country comparison in the FAQ now says openly that the Germany, Spain and Portugal rows have no source. Their wage and price were entered by hand, with no citation and no date. The rows stay as indicative until a decision is made either to source them or to withdraw them.
- The 2026 page now shows how EUR 4.30 is produced. The catering CPI projection gives EUR 4.17 × (1 + 6.7%) = EUR 4.45. The blend of the evidence is EUR 4.12 (ANT1: 34.6%, enikonomia.gr: 26.9%, Gyronomics: 38.5%). Their mean with weight 1/2 is EUR 4.28. Then come the source range of EUR 3.70-5.00, the no-fall floor of EUR 4.17 and the EUR 0.05 step. The same breakdown appears for the other nine sticky and soft-anchor years (2012-2019, 2022). For 2013 and 2014 it also says that catering CPI was -2% and -1.8%, while the projection was held at 0%. The 1/2 weight was added on 30 Aug 2026 without a recorded decision. It is now a recorded decision until the modern methodology release. With weight 0, 2026 would be EUR 4.45 and 207; with weight 1, it would be EUR 4.15 and 222.
- We now publish in advance when the 2026 headline changes. EUR 4.30 and 214 classic gyros hold while the annual catering CPI enters the series at 6.3% or more (the rule's threshold is 6.28%). With 8 months published, that means a September-December mean of at least 5.30%. If it comes in lower, the same rule gives EUR 4.25 and 216, and 2025 stays alone at 214. At 8.7% or more it would give EUR 4.35 and 211. The sentence is on the 2026 page and the thresholds are in year.json (provisional_basis.headline_band).
- The open year's annual catering CPI is now rounded exactly, with the same operation in the series, the Eurostat check and the thresholds. Until now the mean of the months came from a floating-point sum that in some combinations gave 74.99999999999999 instead of 75. With a September-December mean of exactly 5.30%, 1,752 of the 85,439 combinations of months between 3.0% and 8.0% would have given 6.2% instead of 6.3%, that is EUR 4.25 and 216 instead of EUR 4.30 and 214. No figure changes today: the rate stays at 6.7%.
- The live Eurostat check now also shows the price and index the series would give with Eurostat's mean, using the same code as the series. Today that is EUR 4.30 and 214. The new release the check asks for with each new month therefore announces its result in advance.
- The reproduction package now rebuilds the price of all 51 years from the anchors, the rates and the price trace. Until now 10 prices could not be rebuilt from the public file: 2012-2019, 2022 and the EUR 4.30 of 2026. The original documents remain outside reproduction, as before.
- The best and worst years now follow the same rule on every page: years are ranked by the exact wage-to-price quotient, not by the rounded figure. The findings said "Worst: 2025" and Gyro Day said "Latest: 2026". Both years print as 214 (quotients 213.69 and 213.89). Both are now named with their grades (A, and B provisional), in the salary calculator too. Gyro Day also said "Earliest: 1984", while the best year is 1989 (22.006 against 22.712 days). It now starts from 1989 and names every year that lands on the same day, 23 January: 1989, 1985, 1984 and 1990. No figure changes.
- The classic index peak is no longer stated as a single year. 1989 (B, 505) and 1985 (D, 504) are 0.107 apart in the quotient (504.51 and 504.40). Without the intermediate roundings they swap places (504.01 and 504.21). The peak card, the share text, the salary calculator, the food-CPI article and the whitepaper headline now name both. The card, the share text and the whitepaper also say that across the 56 robustness cases the peak falls in 1982, 1984, 1985 or 1989. So the peak year is not a finding.
- "What the data says" no longer presents model assumptions as findings. The portion falling from about 110 to 88 g, the per-100 g index and the fries are now stated as conditional, as the glossary and the era card already said. The "more food" item quoted 22%, a figure from a different scenario. It now gives the rescaling the index actually uses: about 2.0 times the 1977 product (equivalence 0.497). The best documented year, 1989, now says how many composition tests confirm it: 5 of 7. In the other 2, 1984 comes first.
- Platform B's monthly rate would have read the catalogue's "original" price wherever it existed, even when it was below the price the customer pays. That was the case for 132 of September's 417 wraps. On the 8.9 → 25.9 rehearsal, over 409 pairs, it wrote 22 rises: 6 with no change in the price the customer pays, and only 16 of the 25 real ones. Fixed before the first rate. The price the customer pays counts, and the original only when it is higher, which means during an offer. The new rule sees all 25 rises. It also reads as an offer 3 cases where only the original rose above the paid price. No published figure changes.
- The October measurement rules are published before the data, in a file with the thresholds, the holidays and the eligible days. The monthly rate will carry a 95% interval. "Increase" or "decrease" will be written only when the interval excludes zero. On the 8.9 → 25.9 rehearsal the interval was +0.18% to +0.34%. The same business on two platforms does not count twice in the interval. City medians also get an interval, together with the number of distinct shops behind the figure. This matters because with few shops the interval comes out artificially narrow. In September, 17 of the 41 cities with fewer than 10 listings would have had a zero-width interval.
- No regular measurement on a public holiday. October is read on the 26th or 27th (the 28th is a holiday), December only on the 28th, and March 2027 only on the 26th. If a month is missed, the next change is published as a two-month change, with no estimate for the missing month.
- October measurement rules file: /research/prices/rules-2026-10-v1.json, SHA-256 089137ae933e8cf229ad13320e20741b655f402e3588b7f2e37d004cf9be8ae2. Written on 9 October 2026, before October's first reading.
- User decisions of 9 October 2026: the 1/2 weight between the CPI projection and the 2026 evidence stays until the modern methodology release (docs/OPEN-YEAR-2026-10-09.md). In a tie the texts name both years instead of keeping the latest.
- The 1976-1993 wage once again also cites the legal act. Since the 9 October release the wage source is the monthly register. As a result, in the 13 years that used to point to an act (1976-1982, 1984, 1985, 1989-1991, 1993), its link had disappeared from every page. The act now appears second, after the register, in five places: the year page, the table, the per-year sources, the calculations and the minimum-wage article. For the 9 years 1976-1982, 1984 and 1985 it is the year's act. A note says the figure is the register's 12-month mean, not the amount in the act. For 1989-1991 and 1993 the link is the EGSSE archive, which leads to the 1990 agreement. It is therefore shown as "Legal acts of the period", not as the year's act. 1983, 1986-1988 and 1992 have no act. year.json gains a new act field. No figure changed.
- October measurement rules, version v2, written before the reading of 26 or 27 October. The 95% interval of each city's median becomes exact, from the ordered prices of businesses, instead of a bootstrap. The same business on two platforms counts once, and the interval is published with its businesses and its exact coverage. Below 6 businesses no interval is published: the city keeps its median and its shop count, with a flag. On September's data the bootstrap gave a single-point interval in 22 of the 78 cities. The new rule gives an interval in 48 cities and a flag in 30. The rate keeps the platform-combination strata, and a new test shows that a move of a whole platform does not widen its interval. rules-2026-10-v2.json changes rule 11 only. v1 stays public and unchanged.
- Country comparison: every foreign figure now has a source. The German row was typed by hand (net 1,560 €, döner 7.50 €, index 208). It is now computed from Eurostat's gross wage (2,343 €) and the statutory contributions, with the actual average supplementary health rate of 3.13%: net 1,830.70 €, döner with meat 7.11 € (2025 average of YouGov's shopper panel, grade B), index 257. The row says the price is from 2025 and the wage from 2026. Its caveats also give the index with wage and price from the same year, 237, together with the sources. Spain (1,050 € / 6.00 €, 175) and Portugal (740 € / 6.50 €, 114) were removed from the table. Their 2026 net minimum wages are documented (1,331.91 € and 955.27 €), but no price survey with a sample and a method exists for the local equivalent, so no index is shown.
- The sources of the country comparison were archived on 9 October 2026: 36 files (statutes, Eurostat, Destatis, GKV-Spitzenverband, YouGov, BOE, Diário da República), each with its address, retrieval time and SHA-256. Some addresses did not return the document: three PDFs of the German Federal Law Gazette answered with a page shell, one page gave a 503 error, and two links of the Portuguese social security led to the site's home page. These were not kept as evidence. They are listed with the reason, and official copies took their place. New checks recompute every hash and find every quote in the archived text. They also rebuild the German wage, the index and the figures in the caveats from the archive. The consistency gate went from 960 to 975 checks.
- The Privacy page now also describes the second script the host adds to every page since the publication of 9.10.2026, /__l5e/events.*.js. It sends to /__l5e/trackevents on the same domain each page's path without its parameters, the referring page, time on page, page speed and stability measurements and browser errors. Its two random identifiers are not stored on your device, but its requests carry, like every request to the site, the domain's cookies, including the analytics session-id. Screen and click recording are off. The site uses it for error reports. Until now the page said there was no third-party tool beyond the host's analytics, which was no longer true.
- The regular live check now accepts only the exact name of the new script, not its whole folder. It fails if screen or click recording is turned on or if the data is sent elsewhere. It also fails if the script itself stops keeping those settings off when none are given. It now reads script tags the way a browser does. Until now an unquoted src, or a data-src after the src, passed the check as clean. A change to the script's settings that would make the Privacy page false therefore breaks the check.
- Rules file v2 for the October measurement: /research/prices/rules-2026-10-v2.json, SHA-256 04d05cba454663338162b1aa6f4c640895dd274a2708d9ced704eb8e96c048e8. It changes rule 11 only and supersedes v1 (089137ae…), which stays public and unchanged. User decisions of 9 October 2026: the rate keeps the platform-combination strata; the city interval becomes exact from ordered prices, with 6 or more businesses.
No change to the headline figures
Gyros by government
- A new bilingual page: wage, gyro price and gyros per month by government period, with a lag from 0 to 6 months, separately for wage and price.
- It shows what happened by party, what happens in the euro era and what survives under every version, with a lag map. It gives no “what would have happened”. The series does not change.
Full release notes
- The new /kyverniseis and /en/kyverniseis pages show, for each consecutive government period, how much the net minimum wage rose, how much the price of a classic gyro rose and how many gyros the wage buys per month, with totals by party and a chart coloured by government. It is arithmetic on the Index series, not evidence of cause. Because which year belongs to which government is a choice, the reader moves two settings that stay in the link: the way (the year goes to the government in office on the reference date, or is split by days) and the lag, from 0 to 6 months (separately for the wage and the price on the map). The 6-month limit is a choice of the page, on the user's instruction of 5 October 2026, and not a measurement: it started at 24 months and came down the same day to 9 and then to 6. The lag is not removed to get a clean conclusion: it is the commonest reason a result belongs to the previous government, and if the rule that overturns a conclusion were removed we would have a choice of the rule one likes. Old links with three rules keep working; those asking for a lag above 6 months (for example lag=12 or rule=lag, which was the one-year lag) open the default view, and the old lagMin/lagMax range becomes a rectangle for both wage and price.
- WHAT SURVIVES: the wage and the price can have separate lags (the minimum wage is set by government decision, the price reacts later). The page tries both ways at every combination of wage lag and price lag from 0 to 6 months: 98 versions for gyros, 14 for the wage and 14 for the price, and for each party pair and quantity counts in how many one comes out above the other. A 7 by 7 map shows for each combination which party comes out above, in each way. With equal lags the definition coincides exactly with the tables (checked); with unequal lags the rate of gyros is the rate of the wage at its lag divided by the rate of the price at its lag, a convention of the page. The box at the top and the table of verdicts are computed, not written: of the 9 comparisons 7 hold under all versions. In gyros per month PASOK comes out above ND and above SYRIZA in all 98 versions; ND and SYRIZA in gyros hold no conclusion, and neither do ND and PASOK in the price. SYRIZA has a lower wage and price rate than both ND and PASOK, with only five years in the series. CAUTION: the conclusion for ND and PASOK holds inside the 6-month limit only. There is no source for how much lag is plausible, and beyond that limit the sign does not stay the same (see docs/GOVERNMENTS-2026-10-05.md), which is why the page says so at the top and the image in its first check. The reader sets a rectangle (wage lag times price lag) and the verdicts are recomputed inside it; the default is the whole frame. A chart shows the difference of the two parties with equal lags, and where the sign turns in the “30 June” way (for example ND and SYRIZA in gyros, already at the first month) the page shows which years change government and why. The stress test also keeps three named versions side by side, with a “Your selection” column that follows the slider and a caption saying the named columns do not change with it. The fifty-year extrapolation shows a range and not a single number, and is not presented as a scenario or a forecast (see the next note).
- WHAT HAPPENED, WITHOUT “WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED”: the page does not give a counterfactual. It gives (1) an accounting by party: gyros went from 314 to 214 and the parties' factors multiply to it (ND ×0.62, PASOK ×1.17, SYRIZA ×0.94 in the “30 June” way, product ×0.68), an identity that does not say the party caused the change; (2) a “euro era only” section, starting from 2002 (the year of the changeover, with an estimated price and a range) and counting changes from 2003, so the drachma with high inflation and regulated prices is not mixed with the euro. There ND and PASOK in gyros do NOT give the same result as the whole series (ND above in 38 of 98 versions, mixed, while in the whole series PASOK was above in all), and PASOK has only 3 years and SYRIZA 5, marked as a small sample (up to 5 years, a convention of the page); (3) the fifty-year extrapolation as a RANGE across the versions in the rectangle (ND 104 to 237 gyros, PASOK 271 to 537, against 214 in reality), with an explicit sentence that it is not a forecast nor “what would have happened”, and with each party's periods beside it, because the average rate hides them (PASOK +39.1%, −9.6%, −7.0%). Decided after discussion: a single extrapolated number, compounded for fifty years with different conditions in each period and dependent on the lag limit, would be quoted out of context.
- EVIDENCE: each period shows the evidence grades of the price at its ends and how many of its years are interpolated (C or D), and in the chart interpolated years are drawn dotted. The page has a button to copy a link to the view you are looking at, its own 1200×630 sharing card with no numbers or party colours, and a shareable image (a 2040 px PNG and an SVG with its font embedded, Greek and English) generated from the same data, verified in the build, and checked in a real browser that no text falls outside.
- GOVERNMENT SOURCE: the dates come from the Wikipedia list of prime ministers (revision 1377954911, retrieved 5 October 2026), a secondary source and not an official register. The raw file is kept in the repo with its SHA-256, and a test re-derives every term boundary from it, and the party where the source states it. Four changes of government (1989, 2012, 2019 and 2023) fall close to 30 June, and the page says so.
- CHECKS: 160 data and wiring checks and two browser tests per language, which also check there is no hydration mismatch. The map checks were tested with 26 deliberate breakages; one was missed the first time (the slider limit written as a number, hidden by a second slider holding the right one) and the check was strengthened. The checks of the accounting, the euro era and the extrapolation range were tested with 22 more; two were not caught by the unit tests the first time (the #euro menu anchor and the small-sample mark), one was strengthened and the other was caught by the browser test. Before that, the original checks were tested with 48 deliberate breakages; three were missed the first time (a half-hard-coded “the picture reverses”, the chart colours and the by-days way in the lag chart) and the tests were strengthened. A false claim on the page was found and fixed (the 24-month limit was not the largest that fits in the governments table; it is a choice). Chart coordinates are rounded to 0.01 px, because the last digit of Math.pow differed between server and browser, and this now applies to the GYRO/EUR chart too. No change to the price series, the wages or the Index calculations.

GYRO/EUR: the gyro as a currency
- A new bilingual page with three pairs in a ticker format: GYRO/EUR, EUR/GYRO and WAGE/GYRO.
- The same series as the Index: no new figure, no candlesticks, forecast or recommendation.
Full release notes
- The new /gyro-eur and /en/gyro-eur pages show the euro price of a classic gyro (GYRO/EUR), its inverse (EUR/GYRO, how much gyro one euro buys) and the wage Index (WAGE/GYRO, the same integer as the home page). A 5, 10, 25-year or full range, linear or logarithmic scale, an optional band of the published price bounds, statistics (change, compound annual rate, high, low, maximum drawdown), a table and CSV/JSON downloads. Selections stay in the link and across a language switch. Points are annual: no candlesticks are drawn and there is no volume or volatility, because none were measured. The open year is drawn dashed. Every figure is derived from the Index series and re-measured independently by 30 checks and two browser tests; the checks were tested with 19 deliberate breakages, and one equivalent breakage led to removing redundant code. The chart is drawn in real pixels so its labels stay readable on a phone. No change to the price series, the wages or the Index calculations.
- BEHIND THE SCENES: the platform B limit-window test ran on 4 October instead of 1-3 October: 6 of 7 blocks, 150 reads, no rate-limit refusal, a window shorter than about 3 minutes. It is incomplete (the tool stopped the process at two hours) and is not repeated. The October collection was also prepared (a new folder with no reads, and a pre-check of the three readers). The regular measurement is proposed for 26 October. No published figure changes.
No change to the headline figures
GDP: Gross Domestic Pita
- A bilingual page with 14 macroeconomic measures in euro and gyro equivalents.
- Annual observations for 2000–2025, separate quarterly debt, original source snapshot and downloads.
Full release notes
- The new /aep and /en/aep pages convert GDP, consumption, investment, imports, exports, disposable income and public finances into gyro equivalents. Six frozen Eurostat sources have SHA-256 checks and offline reproduction. Annual conversions use each year's declared historical reference price and its bounds, without claiming a measured annual national average. Missing household income for 2025 stays missing. Quarterly debt uses a separate, fixed 2025 reference price with an explicit illustrative-conversion label. Year, measure and unit persist in shared links and language changes. JSON and CSV retain unrounded amounts, denominators and source flags. An interactive example explains why debt/GDP is unchanged by a common unit. The headline wage and price series is unchanged.
No change to the headline figures
Year comparisons, evidence and press research
- A clearer chart, optional lines, two-year comparison and mobile year controls.
- Comparison links and language changes retain the unit, scenario and both years.
- Thirty-six pages from nine further 1984 Simaia issues were screened.
- Orders 40/1984, 16/1984 and 56/1984 concern olive oil, yoghurt and books, not gyro wraps.
- No price was added, the series is unchanged and 21 issues remain in the targeted intersection.
- Three older catalogue mismatches were closed through visual review of twelve complete-original pages.
- The 1981 wage calendar is complete: August–October are grade A continuations of July, while only November–December remain grade B.
- The public API now exposes 216 monthly payroll evidence cells: 114 A, 102 B and 0 U, with a catalogue for all 30 sources.
- Visual rereading of Gazette B 115/1982 showed that article 7 rounds seniority and marriage amounts, not expressly every ATA adjustment; May–August 1984 therefore returns to B.
- Direct free-market prices in 1983–1984 no longer inherit the blanket ±35% price-control-era band: their index ranges become 701–957 and 725–972, with no change to the central series.
- The 1997 image proves that the 200-GRD item is a bare skewer; the retrospective 180–220-GRD 1998 pita-gyro claim remains a sensitivity scenario only.
- 1982 has the widest remaining index band at 628–1,310; visual review of twelve pages yielded no new price and the series remains unchanged.
- A second 6 June 1981 paper corroborates a wholesale-price formula announcement, not the order or an absolute 1982 price; the band is unchanged.
- The 10.4 and 12.2 coefficients are evidenced for Market Order 14/1989 and are not applied retrospectively to the unknown 1981 formula.
- Visual review of 18 Patris pages dated 7–11 June 1981 yielded no order or price; the negative result is limited to those four issues.
- The central holding found begins in 1983 and does not cover the 1981 order.
- The archive route was corrected to `GRGSA-MAG ADM22.2` and `GRGSA_LAR ADM004.01`; the request was prepared but not sent.
- Original Messinia Order 13/1985 repeals Orders 15/1984 and 7/1985, not 12/1984; a precise request to the Messinia archive was drafted but not sent.
- Calculator loading and the final mobile chart-year label were corrected.
Full release notes
- ORDER 12/1984 RESEARCH: all 36 pages in the nine latest unread issues from the `σουβλ*` and `αγορανομ*` intersection were text-screened. For three issues, the complete original was retrieved and page 1 was visually reviewed. Order 40/1984 concerns olive-oil stocks, Order 16/1984 amending 6/1984 concerns sheep-milk yoghurt prices, and Order 56/1984 concerns book-trade margins. Other matches are directory entries, dates and advertisements without an established wrap price. Three older complete issues and twelve visually reviewed pages resolved catalogue mismatches: one match was spit-roasted chicken and two mentions were not found. The series is unchanged and 21 issues remain. The archive request remains unsent.
- Separate payroll research uses the previously recovered 1981 calendar, combining the original arbitration award with contemporary APE reporting. August–October retain grade A as continuations of the original July change. The original ministerial decision for November remains unrecovered, so the final two months stay grade B. Original gazettes B 1248/1980 and B 212/1981 establish the Christmas 1980 and Easter 1981 bonus fractions. All 18 research years were calculated before the separate integration decision later the same day. Independent arithmetic and seven deliberate mutations verified the research calculations and checks. Offline October preparation verified eligible dates, the comparison baseline, frozen reports and three September raw-data backups. The reporting tool's completion message no longer assumes every month lacks a monthly rate. A new README and consolidated project status distinguish current work from historical notes.
- PAYROLL 1976–1993, SERIES CORRECTION: the old one-date amount and flat 12.22% rate are replaced by the verified twelve-month mean and each month's contributions. Fourteen payments are selected throughout as a full-year income convention. For an ordinary employee without a special category, employee OEK is 1% through January 1983, zero from February 1983 through 1987 after TEAM entry, and 1% from 1 January 1988. Decree-law 2963/1954 and IKA circular 48/2011 support the rule; Laws 149/1975, 1766/1988 and 1849/1989 explicitly concern employer contributions and are retained as negative evidence. Eighteen years change. The period-product peak becomes 849 in 1982 instead of 887 in 1983, and the classic peak becomes 505 in 1989 instead of 511 in 1983. 2026 stays at EUR 919.72 and 214. The separate tax scenario now produces positive tax in 14 years, including 1989 and 1992; the headline index remains before income tax. Grade-B cells remain identified and strict legal certification remains false. Five deliberate mutations verified the new generator.
- PUBLIC PAYROLL EVIDENCE: data.json, the year API, the reproduction bundle and MCP publish 216 monthly cells (114 A, 102 B, 0 U). Every B cell maps to one of eleven open questions and the verifier checks amounts, grades and sources. All 30 source IDs have one catalogue entry: 24 public HTTPS URLs and six explicit unresolved public copies. Law 1160/1981 and an official account strengthen 1981 without closing the missing ministerial act. Two INE reports say 38,251, not the 38,521 OCR snippet. Visual rereading of Gazette B 115/1982 corrected the interpretation: article 7 rounds seniority and marriage amounts, not expressly every ATA adjustment. The May 1984 amount of 28,876 therefore cannot support an upgrade without an application table or explicit amount, and May–August return to B. Series amounts and indices do not change. The graphics archive fingerprint ignores documentary changes and remains tied to numeric calculations.
- 1983–1984 PRICE RANGE: the previous rule replaced every 1976–1989 year's price bounds with the blanket ±35% price-control-era band, even when a direct free-market purchase price existed. The only two such observations now retain the existing ±15% single-source policy. The 1983 index range becomes 701–957 instead of 601–1,236 and the 1984 range becomes 725–972 instead of 615–1,276. Central prices and the indices 809 and 830 are unchanged. This does not upgrade product identity, geography or national representativeness; those limitations remain in evidence grades and robustness scenarios. Regulated, reconstructed and interpolated prices, including 1977, 1980, 1982 and 1985–1988, retain ±35%.
- 1997–1998 RESEARCH: the full-size 1997 comparison image shows a bare skewer next to 200 GRD, excluding it from the wrapped series. A LiFO retrospective published on 8 Oct 2025 gives 180–220 GRD for an Athens pita gyro, but no contemporary menu, sample, method or underlying citation. It is retained only as a sensitivity. The production 1998 estimate remains 280 GRD with a 200–360 range.
- PRICE-RANGE PRIORITIES: the ranking is derived from the current production series. 1982 is first at 628–1,310, width 682, and 1985 second at 611–1,277, width 666. Visual review of twelve pages across three retained 1982 issues found no eligible wrapped-product price. This closes only those specific issues, does not establish absence across the year, does not narrow the ±35% band and changes no series figure.
- 1981 PRICE FORMULA AND THE 1982 GAP: Ipeirotikos Agon of 6 June 1981 corroborates the Rizospastis report that a wholesale-price-based souvlaki formula and a forecast 2–3 GRD rise were announced. The two papers cover the same government announcement and are not two independent prices. They do not provide the underlying order, coefficients, exact product, geography, input prices or continuity into 1982. No absolute price follows and the 628–1,310 band remains unchanged.
- LEGAL FORMULA CROSS-CHECK: article 201 explicitly attributes the exact gyro formula and the 10.4 and 12.2 coefficients to Market Order 14/1989. The 1981 announcement establishes that some wholesale-price-based formula existed then, not that it was identical. The 1989 coefficients are not carried into 1981 or 1982 and the series is unchanged.
- BOUNDED PRESS WINDOW: all 18 pages of the available 7, 9, 10 and 11 June 1981 Patris issues were visually reviewed without finding an order number, formula, coefficient or absolute price. This closes only those issues and does not establish absence from the wider press. The series and 628–1,310 band are unchanged.
- ARCHIVE ROUTE: the General State Archives catalogue describes a Food-and-Beverage Prices Directorate holding with market orders and 1983–1988 material from predecessor directorates. No digitized 1981 file was identified. The next request targets the Animal Products Directorate's 1981–1982 national orders, amendments and pricing tables.
- ARCHIVE-TARGET CORRECTION: central holding `GRGSA-CSA-ADM327.01` begins in 1983 and does not cover the 1981 order. The primary target is `GRGSA-MAG ADM22.2`, 1964–1994, with separately named meat-order and restaurant series. The fallback is `GRGSA_LAR ADM004.01`, 1970–1989, which explicitly contains market orders and price bulletins. A precise request was drafted but not sent.
- MESSINIA 1984–1985 CHAIN: the complete 6 April 1985 Tharros issue was recovered and pages 1 and 4 were visually reviewed. Market Order 13, dated 5 April 1985, protocol EM 1281, regulates cafe items and repeals Orders 15/1984 and 7/1985. It does not cite Order 12/1984 or name gyro, souvlaki or pita. The separate 12/1985 mention on the same page is a court decision concerning a photographers' association. The series is unchanged. An unsent request to `GRGSA-MES` now asks for Orders 12/1984 and 15/1984, the 1984 register and their amendment chain.
- The Index opens with the selected series and its range. Wage or price is optional on a separate right-hand euro axis, and other paths are enabled explicitly. Two-year comparison follows the selected unit and scenario, calculates percentages before integer rounding and preserves choices in links and language changes. Mobile controls now include a year selector, previous/next and direct source links. The 1984 research test verifies the 21 genuinely open issues instead of assuming undocumented completion. Unpublished additions prepared on September 27 are recorded today, preserving the previous day's published notes.
- The browser check found an initial JavaScript budget regression on the Calculator. Payroll URL validation was separated from the evidence catalogue without changing calculations or relaxing the budget. The clipped final chart-year label was corrected on mobile. The methodology check now follows the series’ already published payment convention instead of the old thirteen-payment assumption.

1976–1993 payroll and October readiness
- The 1981 wage calendar is completed as a research scenario, retaining five grade-B months and explicit source qualifications.
- Original gazettes for 1980–1981 bonuses were recovered; September's comparison baseline and raw backups were verified.
- The 1976–1993 series now uses a monthly calendar, 14 payments and a sourced employee-OEK chronology.
- The Index chart loads dynamically near the viewport; its table and headline results remain in the initial HTML.
- The period-product peak becomes 849 in 1982 and the classic-gyro peak 505 in 1989; 2026 remains 214.
- The separate tax scenario now has 14 positive years, including 1989 and 1992; the headline index remains before tax.
- The public API now exposes 216 monthly payroll evidence cells: 111 A, 105 B and 0 U.
- Shared graphic export was separated from the press page and the article bundle remains within budget.
Full release notes
- Separate payroll research uses the previously recovered 1981 calendar, combining the original arbitration award with contemporary APE reporting. The original ministerial decision for November remains unrecovered, so five completed months retain grade B. Original gazettes B 1248/1980 and B 212/1981 establish the Christmas 1980 and Easter 1981 bonus fractions. All 18 research years were calculated before the separate integration decision later the same day. Independent arithmetic and seven deliberate mutations verified the research calculations and checks.

The reporting tool's completion message no longer assumes every month lacks a monthly rate. A new README and consolidated project status distinguish current work from historical notes.
- INDEX-PAGE PERFORMANCE: the main interactive chart and Recharts now load when the visual approaches the viewport, with a fixed-height bilingual status while waiting. The complete table, headline cards and summary remain in the initial HTML, so the answer and data do not depend on the later chart request. A new source check was deliberately made to fail before implementation and now protects the dynamic import. The numeric series is unchanged.
- PAYROLL 1976–1993, SERIES CORRECTION: the old one-date amount and flat 12.22% rate are replaced by the verified twelve-month mean and each month's contributions. Fourteen payments are selected throughout as a full-year income convention. For an ordinary employee without a special category, employee OEK is 1% through January 1983, zero from February 1983 through 1987 after TEAM entry, and 1% from 1 January 1988.

Sourced 1993-2019 contributions, mean and median wage, income tax, a new article and a new short book
- The mean-wage witness moves to 2010-2022; the two sources differ by 3.8 percentage points and the agreement claim is removed.
- Six helper classifiers aligned, an October guard before network access, and updated browser checks.
- Correction on the Wages page: the mean wage takes the OECD series, because the previous source breaks in 2024; the 2000-2025 loss becomes 51.9% from 46.3%.
- A new article on pita or sandwich with the regular 25 September measurement.
- Correction: the median wage change is measured 2010-2022, under one sector classification; −41.0% against −39.7% for the minimum, instead of −43.3% against −38.1%.
- Income tax: the reference profile without the contribution subsidy; 2022-2025 close (EUR 0, 58, 116, 253), 2026 a projection of EUR 340. Tax stays out of the Index.
- A new short edition of the book on the corrected series.
- Series correction: contributions in 1993-2019 were not 16% throughout; the classic index changes in 12 years by 1 or 2 points (2012: 338 to 336), 2026 stays at 214.
Full release notes
- The mean-wage witness now compares 2010-2022, under one sector classification: −37.4% for SES against −41.2% for the OECD, a 3.8 percentage-point gap. The claim that they agree, based on 2006-2022, is removed. 2006 remains an annotated observation. The test verifies the interval and each source separately, without imposing an agreement threshold. The headline series is unchanged.
- The same gyro, SANDWICH and PITOGYRO word rules now apply to the six helper readers and analysts, with an independent copy in each tool. The regular October collection refuses to start with GYRONOMICS_B_DETAIL=1, before network reads or registry writes. Browser checks that expected old indices, a pilot instead of the regular collection, and differences without their positive sign were corrected. September snapshots remain unchanged.
- CONTRIBUTIONS 1993-2019, SERIES CORRECTION: from 1 January 1993 to 31 May 2019 the series applied 16% employee contributions in every month, without a source. 16% was in force only from 1 January 2003 to 31 July 2011 and from 1 June 2016 to 31 May 2019. The rate of an ordinary IKA employee with auxiliary insurance, rebuilt by component with two sources for each change: 15.80% in 1993, 15.90% from 1 January 1994 (EKLA 0.10%, Law 2224/1994), 16.00% from 1 January 2003 (workers' welfare, Law 3144/2003), 16.50% from 1 August 2011 (OAED +0.50%, Law 3986/2011), 15.50% from 1 July 2014 (the 1% DLOEM contribution abolished, Law 4254/2014) and 16.00% from 1 June 2016 (auxiliary 3.50%, Law 4387/2016). Law 3144/2003 granted the increase retroactively from 29 April 2002; with the decision that a retroactive provision counts from the year it was legislated, 2002 stays at 15.90%. The OECD (Taxing Wages) is an independent witness: it agrees in all 19 years 2000-2018. The wage changes in 15 years and the classic index in 12: 2011 from 417 to 416, 2012 from 338 to 336, 2013 from 325 to 323, 2015 from 314 to 316, 2016 from 302 to 303, and one point up in 1993-1996, 1998, 1999 and 2001. The 2011-2012 fall becomes 416 to 336. 2026 stays at EUR 919.72 and 214, and the 1983 peak (511) is untouched. Three sources that had been read only in web republications are archived with SHA-256: IKA circular 110/1992, IKA 45/2014 and article 15 of Law 2224/1994. Later the same day the two pages on Law 3144/2003 were archived too (a summary of IKA circular 82/2003 and a note on IKA 56/2003 and 72/2003). They say the 2002 arrears were paid in one sum by 28 November 2003, that is within 2003, as the convention has it. As before, the employee-contribution subsidy and wage stamp duty/OGA stay out. 1976-1992 keeps the 12.22% assumption. The previous series stays in archive 3186dece of 25 September.
- THE WAGES PAGE AND THE FAQ, CORRECTION: the mean wage came from Eurostat's earn_nt_net. From 2024 that dataset is compiled by a different body (the Joint Research Centre instead of the OECD), flagged as a break in series, and its gross earnings sit 6.7% (2024) and 11.6% (2025) above the OECD's. The 2000-2025 comparison crossed that break. The mean is now the OECD Taxing Wages average wage for every year, from a stored file pinned by SHA-256; earn_nt_net stays as a witness. For 2000-2023 the two sources are at most EUR 0.57 a year apart and no index changes. The mean becomes 511 classic gyros in 2024 (was 546) and 467 in 2025 (was 522). The 2000-2025 loss becomes 51.9% (was 46.3%) against 46.6% for the minimum: the mean loses more than the minimum, not less. After tax 56.0% (was 51.8%). The ratio to the national-accounts mean was typed by hand (0.67 in 2024, while the data gave 0.66) and now comes from the data. The phrase that the wage roughly doubled is gone; for the mean it does not hold (+77.2%). This correction changes neither the median nor the Index.
- THE MEDIAN WAGE, SAME-DAY CORRECTION: the Mean and median wage page and the FAQ measured the median's change from 2006 to 2022. The 2006 point, however, uses a different sector classification (NACE Rev. 1.1) from the later waves of the Structure of Earnings Survey (NACE Rev. 2), so the comparison crossed a change of definition. It is now measured 2010-2022: the median loses −41.0% and the minimum −39.7%, instead of −43.3% and −38.1%. The distance falls from 5.1 to 1.3 points. All five points stay in the chart and tables, with 2006 marked for its classification and 2022 for its new method (survey plus administrative data). The deciles, sex and under-30 comparisons now start in 2010 (the under-30s end in 2018, since 2022 has no age breakdown), and two conclusions changed. In the spread, the ratio between the ends goes from 2.96x to 3.29x: the bottom tenth loses −43.5% and the top −37.2%, so the ends moved apart; until now the page said the distance had barely moved (3.59x to 3.29x). By sex, the gap goes from 10.4% to 9.9%, with women at −41.0% and men at −41.3%; the convergence from above (18.7% to 9.9%) depended on 2006 and is gone. The under-30s lose −40.2% against −32.0% for the overall median (2010→2018), instead of −39.6% against −34.6% (2006→2018). For the mean witness (the survey's measured mean against the OECD model), the later same-day decision makes 2010-2022 the main comparison (−37.4% against −41.2%), replacing the agreement claim based on 2006-2022. On income tax the current convention is confirmed: the series stays before tax, and after tax we show only the mean, from the same body as its line (the OECD). The mean's correction note quotes the −46.3% published in the morning, computed with the contribution rate in force then.
- INCOME TAX, DECISIONS AND A CORRECTION TO THE TAB: the tax reference profile (single, 40, full year at the minimum wage) now states four things explicitly. First, the employee does not receive the employee-contribution subsidy of Law 2837/2000, the same assumption as the Index and the Ministry of Labour's EUR 797 net; the subsidy stays as a separate sensitivity. Second, tax is stated in whole euro, rounded half up. Third, the Easter bonus uses the wage 15 days before Easter: for 2023 that is 1 April 2023, at EUR 780. Fourth, the ongoing year enters as a labelled projection. On this basis 2022-2025 close at EUR 0, 58, 116 and 253 (to the cent 0.00, 57.68, 116.14 and 252.91, independently recomputed); with the subsidy they would be 41, 122, 275 and 432. 2026 is a projection of EUR 340. Closed years in the audit rise from 21 to 25 of 51. In the audit, 2011-2012 become EUR 379 and 208 without the subsidy but stay open for February 2012 and the IKA ceilings; the site still shows them as a scale scenario. The After income tax tab took its tax from a simplified scenario: 14 times the monthly average, with no Easter date and no 1/24 on bonuses. So it computed less, e.g. EUR 237.67 instead of 253 in 2025; the table showed only 2026, at EUR 330 instead of 340 and disposable income of EUR 892.19 instead of 891.39. It now shows the audited tax where a year is closed, and every row says audited, projection or scenario. The 207 era gyros of the default view are unchanged; in the alternative CPI views they fall by one (590 instead of 591, 452 instead of 453). The same amounts now feed the series' after-tax fields. Tax still does not enter the headline Index, because not all 51 years are documented yet.
- NEW ARTICLE: “Pita or sandwich, again: the regular measurement across 1,654 menus”. The naming border in the regular 25 September measurement: sandwich is the majority name in 13 cities (12 in the pilot), Thessaloniki has 115 of 127, without the word 311 of 1,654 would lose their price, and the map has 61 cities, the 10 new ones with coordinates from two sources. New sample rule: the two names' prices are compared only with 4 or more shops each. We state openly that the 7 September article put Ioannina at zero while it was 1 of 34 (now 3 of 49). The 7 September article stays as published, and the two link to each other.
- NEW SHORT EDITION OF THE BOOK: “One wage, how many gyros?” dated 26 September 2026, 32 pages per language, on the frozen 2026.09.26-mean-wage-source dataset. It includes the sourced 1993-2019 contribution rates by period. The classic index changes in 12 years by 1-2 gyros, e.g. 2011 from 417 to 416 and 2012 from 338 to 336, and the 2012 wage fall is now 18.0% instead of 17.7%. 2026 stays at 214 gyros. The mean wage now comes from the OECD (Taxing Wages), as on the site: 973 gyros in 2000 and 467 in 2025, instead of 971 and 522 with Eurostat earn_nt_net. The median keeps its five SES points: 2006 is shown as an open point (NACE Rev. 1.1) and 2022 is flagged as a new method. The change in the text and in Table 6 now runs 2010-2022, from 930 to 548 gyros, instead of 2006-2022 (966 to 548). The book computes percentage changes from the integer indices, so they can differ from the site by 0.1 point (mean −52.0% against −51.9%). A new edition note on page 2 is generated from the data. The 21 and 25 September editions remain at their addresses.
- COLLECTION, BEFORE OCTOBER: the classifier on all three platforms now accepts an item as gyro only when the word gyros (its forms, and pitogyro) stands on its own, not when the letters appear inside another word. Under the old rule two Athens records, most likely the same shop on two platforms, took their price from a pork gyromprizolaki sandwich at EUR 6.80. Measured on the frozen September data: 13 of 1,654 records would have no price, no price changes, and 2 of 78 city medians move, Heraklion EUR 5.30 to 5.25 and Sitia EUR 4.90 to 4.45. September is not republished; the rule applies from October. The pilot read of the second platform's product details stopped as designed at the 31st of 50: the platform allows about 30 per time window, so the read is not enabled in October. Same-day addition, by decision: kotogyros, pansetogyros and gyropita written as one word stay out, and SANDWICH counts as a wrap word only when it stands on its own. As a substring it gave a price to the EUR 15.00 SANDWICHARA chicken gyro in Ioannina. With both rules September would have had 14 of 1,654 records without a price; the Ioannina median stays EUR 4.20. The classifier change does not touch the Index. Afternoon addition, by decision: the bare word pitogyro now also counts as a wrap, as a word of its own with the same inflections the gyro rule recognises, so words such as kotopitogyro stay out. It occurs in none of the 189,814 September raw items, so the addition changes no row. The second platform's product details stay off in October. Its limit (about 30 details per unknown window) will be measured separately in early October, outside the 25-28 window, in blocks of 25 with 2 to 80 minute pauses; the test is written but has not run, and it also keeps the response headers that were missing on 25 September. No published number changes, including the Index. Research with no change to the series: the Christmas bonus decisions of 1977, 1978 and 1979 were found in the original gazette (B 1277/1977, 1081/1978, 1094/1979: one monthly salary, with the holiday allowance excluded from the base), and the Easter bonus decisions of 1977, 1979 and 1980 in Makedonia (half a salary). So every year 1976-1981 has 1.5 salaries of bonuses documented, while the series keeps 12 payments for 1976-1980 and 13 for 1981. The series does not change yet: moving 1976-1993 to the 12-month mean will come as a release of its own, with a before/after table.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Sept 2026 | 2026.09.25-september-collection | 2026 price (EUR) | 4.254.3 | MONTHLY MEASUREMENT: collection sep26-monthly read the three platforms on 25 September, 08:44-10:19 Athens time, inside the 25th-28th window. Coverage: all 2,216 A candidates were read and 883 have a gyro pita; B 624 read, 417 with a gyro pita; C 563 of 571 read, 354 with a gyro pita. The snapshot holds 1,654 shops in 78 cities. Eight C shops were not read in two readings: seven return Shop not found in db, closed on the platform while still in the sitemap, and one refuses only its catalogue (403). They are not counted as shops without gyros. The snapshot was frozen on 25 September by user decision, without the 28 September fallback. Under the rules written on 24 September, before the data, only the level by city is published; there is no monthly rate in September, and the measurement does not change the Index or the 2026 annual figure. |

| 7 Sept 2026 | 2026.09-defteri-pigi | 2026 price (EUR) | 4.34.25 | 2026 RESTED ON A SINGLE SURVEY. Every August report was checked one by one (pronews, reader, ipaideia, gr.rua): they all reproduce the same ANT1 figures, so none is an independent source. That is why the year carried a +/-15% uncertainty band, the widest of the decade. |

| 6 Sept 2026 | 2026.09-thessaloniki | Wage basis | annual income / 12contractual monthly | THE THESSALONIKI FACTOR WAS PINNED AT 1.05 WITH NO SOURCE, while the Athens one had already been made time-varying for exactly the same reason. Our own multi-city surveys contradict it, and in both directions. |
| 31 Aug 2026 | 2026.08-pricefox | 2026 price (EUR) | 4.24.3 | SOURCE-YEAR FIX: the Pricefox survey of 25 Oct 2024 was filed as "Dec 2025", so 2025 rested on 2024 data. The two editions were split apart and the 4 Dec 2025 edition was added. Prices: 2024 3.70 -> 3.71, 2025 4.01 -> 4.22, 2026 4.20 -> 4.30 EUR; the 2026 index 220 -> 215. |

It gives both the regulated ceiling (65 GRD) and the first free-market price (70-80 GRD), explicitly "at the same price as the skewer or gyro souvlaki". |

| 28 Aug 2026 | 2026.08-annualized | Wage basis | contractual monthlyannual income / 12 | Each year's wage is normalised to annual income / 12, so 1976 (12 payments) is comparable with 2026 (14 payments). |
