OECD PREDICTS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND HIGHER INCOMES FOR GREECE

Greece’s economy is expected to continue growing into 2026 while Greeks will see
an increase in their incomes, according to a report released by the OECD on
Wednesday, November 4.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in its biannual
Economic Outlook report on the economic prospects of OECD members says the Greek
economy is strong. It predicts it will grow at a rate of 2.3 percent in 2024,
2.2 percent in 2025, and 2.5 percent in 2026.

The report further predicts that as real household income per person is rising
and is higher at present than prior to the pandemic, “rising disposable income
will strengthen consumption, as a tight labor market and minimum wage increases
support wages.”




According to the OECD, Greece is one of few EU member states for which the
potential per capita growth has been revised upwards. Others doing well include
Portugal and Spain. This, the report notes, “indicates that structural reforms
are yielding benefits over the course of time as these countries are among those
that carried out the most reforms in the two previous decades.”

The report also predicts that unemployment will ease progressively amid rising
labor costs while inflation is expected to reach 2 percent in late 2026 amid
persistently high service costs and core inflation.





DESPITE THE EXPECTED GROWTH, CHALLENGES FOR GREECE’S ECONOMY REMAIN

Despite the expected growth, Greece’s economic future is not without its
challenges. According to the report, any delays in the absorption of European
funds, excessive wage increases or possible new extreme weather events could
hamper prospects for the Greek economy.

Furthermore, the report says that reduction of public debt (currently at over
$395 billion) should be a firm priority for the Greek government, as the
increased costs of an aging population and the need to support investment will
put pressure on expenditures.

The OECD adds that Greece needs to further improve its public spending,
especially in areas such as education, health, and investment, which, in turn,
will increase growth and primary surpluses. In addition, Greece needs to
continue its efforts to fight tax evasion.





HIGHER INCOMES IMPORTANT FOR GREEKS’ LIVELIHOODS

In November, the OECD’s global report on quality of life placed Greece in the
third lowest place among the 35 OECD member states in terms of wage levels,
trailing Mexico and Colombia and closely followed by Slovakia and Hungary.

The November report notes that Greece has the highest proportion of citizens
struggling to make ends meet after Mexico, Slovakia, and Turkey, with over 65
percent of Greeks facing financial hardships.

The average monthly wage in Greece stands at around 1,200 euros ($1,265) while
minimum wage is at 830 euros ($875) in a country where home prices are
skyrocketing along with the price of food. The Greek government envisages
bringing the average monthly salary to 1,500 euros ($1,581) by 2027, where it
stood prior to the country’s financial crisis that broke out in 2010. However,
analysts say it is unlikely the government will be able to achieve this goal.
