The Greek economy is expected to maintain its high growth rates in 2027 as well, according to the forecasts included in the draft fiscal plan, which the Ministry of National Economy and Finance is expected to present on Monday.
According to information cited by Bloomberg, the government forecasts growth of 2% for 2026 and a slightly higher rate for 2027. At the same time, the budget is expected to remain in surplus in both years.
The forecasts, which have not yet been finalized, reflect the continuation of Greece’s fiscal improvement, combined with the economy’s performance compared with other European countries.
Particular emphasis is placed on the reduction of public debt. According to the same information, it is expected to fall below 137% of GDP in 2026 and below 130% in 2027.
At the same time, the primary surplus, that is, the fiscal result before interest expenses, is estimated to exceed 3% of GDP in both years.
On the debt front, the government continues the early repayment of loans from the bailout program period. For 2026, the repayment of capital amounting to nearly 13 billion euros is planned, a development expected to contribute further to reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio.
The improvement in fiscal figures has already been reflected in the country’s credit profile as well. Scope Ratings has recently placed Greece at its highest rating level since the start of the Eurozone debt crisis, while the Greek stock market returned this year to the category of developed markets.
At the same time, fiscal stability and tax incentives are strengthening the interest of international investors in Greece. Millennium Management has decided to open an office in Athens, while the founder of hedge fund Rokos Capital Management, Chris Rokos, has chosen Greece as his new place of residence, leaving the United Kingdom.
