Household gross disposable income rose at an annual 5% clip during 2024-25, higher than the rate of inflation (3%).
Greeks’ gross wealth exceeded €1 trillion during the final quarter of 2025, having risen 19% in 2024-25, data published by the European Central Bank shows.
But disposable income remains among the lowest in the European Union, although in 2024-25 it rose at an annual clip of 5%, higher than the rate of inflation which averaged 3%, according to an Alpha Bank analysis. Per capita disposable income exceeds only Latvia’s and likely Bulgaria’s – the latter has no available data beyond 2022.
This steep rise in gross wealth is mostly due to the rise in property values (16% in the past two years), which account for the biggest chunk of Greek households’ wealth.
The biggest gains in value in the past two years were achieved by mutual and investment funds (101%), which account for 7% of Greeks’ total wealth. Listed stocks rose 42%, financial business wealth 19%, bonds 16%, insurance policies 3% and deposits also 3%.
