  • In its Economic Outlook, the OECD noted that GDP in Greece is projected to remain resilient, growing by 2.1% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026, before easing to 1.8% in 2027.The slowdown of investment is due to the phasing out of disbarments of Recovery and resilient funds, while consumption will remain strong, supported by employment gains and growing real wages. Headline inflation is expected to ease to 2.1% in 2027, amidst tight labour market. Finally, sizeable primary fiscal surpluses are projected for 2025-2027, from 2.3% and 2.9% of GDP, keeping public debt on a firmly declining path.
