EU Removes Greece from Macroeconomic Imbalance Watchlist

The European Commission has taken Greece off its list of countries with macroeconomic imbalances, ending a long period of EU‑run fiscal monitoring. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis hailed the move as the closure of a "negative chapter" that began about 16 years ago, noting that the decision reflects reduced public‑debt risks, robust growth, solid public‑finances and a stabilised banking sector.

For companies, the removal signals a lower external risk profile, improved access to capital and greater certainty for investment planning and supply‑chain arrangements. While the EU stresses that reforms are ongoing, the new assessment marks a clear shift in how investors and partners view Greece’s economic outlook.
