The Bank of Greece forecasts stronger inflationary pressures in the Greek economy in 2026 due to energy prices.

In its Inflation Bulletin released on Monday, the Bank of Greece projected that the Consumer Price Index in Greece will rise to 3.8% this year, compared with 3.0% in the eurozone, driven mainly by the recent shock in energy prices.

In 2027, headline inflation is expected to slow significantly in both Greece and the eurozone, reaching 2.6% and 2.3% respectively, as pressures from energy commodity prices ease.
