IOBE Forecasts Steady Greek GDP Growth but Warns on Inflation, Investment

09:23 18/7/2025 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

The Greek economy is expected to grow by 2.2% this year, but concerns are mounting over stubbornly high inflation and a recent sharp decline in investment, according to a new report from the Foundation for Economic & Industrial Research (IOBE).

While maintaining a positive outlook, IOBE projects GDP

growth will rise to 2.4% in 2026, driven primarily by consumer spending.

However, the General Director of IOBE, Nikos Vettas, expressed significant concern over a 3.2% drop in fixed investments during the first quarter of 2025.

“If this proves to be a trend, it is very concerning,” Mr. Vettas warned, also noting that flat quarter-on-quarter growth was “worrying.”

IOBE estimates Greece’s inflation will reach 2.8% this year before easing to 2.3% in 2026.

Mr. Vettas noted this remains higher than the eurozone average.

He also cited global uncertainties, including trade protectionism and regional conflicts, as risks to the forecast.
