The Bloomberg reports that Greece is returning to a trajectory of stability, using fiscal surpluses for support measures worth €500 million.

Greece is returning to economic normality, Bloomberg notes, noting that the country, after a decade-long crisis in public debt, is now pursuing fiscal discipline and strengthening its credit rating.

The paper links this to the recent €500 million support measures announced by the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which exploit the fiscal space created by the economy’s outperformance.

According to Eurostat and ELSTAT data, Greece recorded a surplus of 1.7% of GDP for 2025, significantly exceeding the 0.6% target.

This is the fourth consecutive year of overperformance, which, it noted, allows the government to proceed with targeted aid to citizens.

Despite improving macroeconomic indicators, the high cost of living remains a key challenge. Price pressures, intensified by developments in the war with Iran, keep affordability at the top of people’s concerns.

The prime minister stressed that the measures are the best we can do without upsetting the economic balance.

Already since March, two packages of interventions have been announced:

  • Slashing margins on fuel and basic goods by June
  • Subsidies of about 300 million €300 for fuel, fuel and support for shipping, aimed at containing prices

The overall picture conveyed by Bloomberg is that Greece has regained a significant degree of fiscal stability, but it is still having to manage the social pressures of accuracy in an unstable international environment.
