Greek fiscal and corporate economic performance

Overview

In the first half of 2026, Greece reported diverse financial developments across its public and private sectors. The Ministry of Labor scheduled the distribution of approximately €1.39 billion to over 2.7 million beneficiaries for pensions, unemployment, and maternity benefits. Concurrently, several major corporations released H1 2026 results, including AVAX Group, which reported net profits of €27.3 million, and Kri Kri, which achieved record net profits of €36.17 million despite geopolitical cost pressures.

By the end of the first eight months of 2026, Greece recorded a primary budget surplus of €6.534 billion, significantly exceeding the target of €4.989 billion. Net state revenues reached €51.351 billion, driven by tax revenues totaling €49.481 billion. However, Special Consumption Tax revenues declined by approximately €200 million due to reduced fuel consumption. Total expenditures rose to €51.825 billion, fueled by Recovery and Resilience Facility projects.

Corporate performance showed varied results. While ECTER saw a 42.4% turnover increase to €59.6 million and Orilina Properties reported record net profits exceeding €9 million, other firms faced challenges. Mevaco reported a 64.13% decrease in turnover to €17.6 million due to normalizing demand for solar mounting structures, and Phoenix Vega Mezz PLC reported a loss of €40.9 million. Conversely, Païris returned to profitability with a turnover of €6.46 million, and Jumbo announced an extraordinary cash distribution of approximately €134.37 million to shareholders.

Macroeconomically, IOBE reported total private debt reached €420.9 billion in Q1 2026 (169% of GDP), while non-performing loans decreased to 28.4%. The real estate market remained dynamic, with national housing prices rising by 5.8% and new mortgage disbursements doubling in Q2 2026.
