First stable ND government after 1989-1990 electoral deadlocks, tasked with correcting the 1988-1989 fiscal/inflation explosion inherited from Papandreou I. Economic school: classical-liberal / ordoliberal with supply-side-moderate reformism — Manos the most programmatic Greek liberal of the era. Left-right axis: centre-right. Key content: (i) Stabilisation Programme 1991-1993 — targeted inflation fall from ~20% (1990) to below 10% (achieved 1994 under successor); (ii) VAT increase to 18% 1992; excise rationalisation; (iii) Privatisation programme Law 2000/1991 — Heracles Cement sold to Calcestruzzi 1992, Athens Bus preparation, AGET, Olympic Airways restructuring attempts, Public Petroleum Corporation (ELDA) privatisation preparation; (iv) Bank of Greece reforms preparing independence (full independence Law 2548/1997 under Simitis); (v) Deregulation of drachma and currency restrictions; financial-sector licensing opened; (vi) Social security contribution reforms and first talk of pension parametric adjustments; (vii) OTE partial flotation prep (delayed to 1996); (viii) Labour code reforms decree-law 1264/1982 partially amended; (ix) Macedonia naming dispute mobilised through 1991-1993 — antagonised relations with Skopje; (x) Single Market 1993 preparation and implementation. Popularity: April 1990 ND 46.9% / 150 seats (just short — supplemented by one MP from DIANA); public-sector strikes 1991-1992 over austerity; Samaras (Foreign Minister 1989-1992) resigned over Macedonia, founded Politiki Anoixi September 1993 splitting ND majority; October 1993 election PASOK 46.9% / 170 seats landslide, ND 39.3% / 111 seats. Coherence: moderate — stabilisation aims clear but implementation often partial; Manos reformism more ambitious than government majority/political-capital permitted; privatisations often delayed or small-scale; subsequent Simitis-era reforms completed some Manos-era unfinished business.
