Greece Records €7.55 Billion Primary Surplus in First Nine Months

Greece recorded a primary budget surplus of €7.554 billion during the first nine months of 2026, spanning the January through September period. This financial outcome significantly surpassed the Greek government's initial primary surplus target of €5.129 billion.

The stronger-than-expected performance of public finances was driven primarily by robust tax revenues, with notable contributions stemming from value-added tax (VAT) and income tax collections.
