In 2026, the Greek economy is expected to maintain its strong growth momentum, despite an international environment still marked by geopolitical uncertainty, shifting conditions in global trade and energy markets, and risks to fiscal and political stability in major European economies.
Despite global uncertainty, Greece is projected for the sixth consecutive year to achieve a real growth rate significantly higher than the Eurozone average. Growth is estimated at 2.2% for 2025 and 2.4% for 2026, compared with 1.3% and 1.2% respectively for the Eurozone. Nominal GDP is expected to rise from €248.7 billion in 2025 to €260 billion in 2026, while domestic inflation is projected to ease from 2.6% in 2025 to 2.2% in 2026.
Despite the volatile global environment, Greece has now established itself as a point of reference for the stability and consistency of its economic policy. Maintaining fiscal balance, coupled with continued investments and structural reforms, lays the foundation for sustainable growth and a meaningful improvement in the standard of living for all citizens.
