IMF sees Greece growth at 1.8%, inflation sticky at 4.2% in 2026

IMF forecasts Greek GDP growth of 1.8% for 2026 and 2027, below the government's 2% and 2.3% projections, while inflation is seen at 4.2% this year and 3.6% in 2027, eroding purchasing power. The report confirms income convergence with the EU average but highlights persistent price pressures, a deviation from the government's more optimistic outlook.
