Greece is preparing for the second economic assessment round for 2026. DBRS will start on September 4, followed by Scope Ratings and Moody's on September 18, S&P on October 23, and Fitch on November 6. The assessments will be based on the primary surplus, early debt repayments, and the economic resilience shown against Middle East tensions.
Despite rising energy prices, Greece's economy showed resilience. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent crude to about 90 dollars, while European natural gas prices rose to 68 euros/MWh. Nevertheless, with first-quarter GDP growing at an annual rate of 2%, the primary surplus in January–July reached 5,77 billion euros, above target.
The government aims to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio to 138,2% by the end of 2026 through an early debt repayment of 12,8 billion euros. If this target is met, Greece will fall behind Italy as the most indebted country in the eurozone. Among rating agencies, Scope is more optimistic, Moody's more cautious, while DBRS and Fitch emphasize that financial discipline must continue and geopolitical risks need to be closely monitored.
