That economist article is pretty damning if true. 2 out 3 Greeks under report or don't report at all.
According to your article, the Canadian Underground Economy is stable at ~2.3% of GDP, not 3.5%

Googling around, most articles/studies are claiming the underground/shadow economy of Greece is ~25% of GDP
