IMF: Greek Debt Decline Outpaces Forecasts, 136% of GDP in 2026

IMF estimates show Greek public debt falling faster than projected, to 136% of GDP in 2026 from 146.6% in 2025, with further declines to 111.1% by 2031. The improvement versus April forecasts signals stronger fiscal consolidation and growth, positioning Greek debt below Italy's this year and below France's by 2031. This supports Greek bond spreads and eurozone peripheral sentiment, though the trajectory remains sensitive to growth and primary surplus execution.
