Greece’s economy is expected to maintain solid growth over the next two years, supported by EU recovery funding, tax cuts and steady employment gains, according to the latest Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Economic Outlook.
The OECD projects gross domestic product growth of 1.9% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027. It said disbursements from the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility will continue to support investment, while personal income tax cuts and energy-related support measures are expected to bolster household consumption despite elevated energy costs.
Exports are forecast to pick up in the second half of 2026 as global demand improves.
Headline inflation is projected to rise to 4.2% in 2026, driven primarily by higher energy prices, before easing to 2.6% in 2027.
The OECD said risks to growth are broadly balanced, assuming a recovery in energy output and exports in the Middle East from the third quarter onward, as expected. It added that stronger-than-anticipated tourism performance could further boost growth, while delays in EU fund implementation or prolonged energy market disruptions could weigh on the outlook.
