The Greek economy has witnessed a slowdown in growth as its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 2.2% during the first quarter of 2025, marking a decline from the 2.5% growth rate experienced in the previous quarter. This update, released on June 6, 2025, reflects a year-over-year comparison showing less robust economic performance in early 2025 compared to late 2024.
The first quarter GDP figures indicate a dwindling momentum in Greece's economic recovery, echoing a broader trend of cautious economic optimism amid global uncertainties. The previous quarter, the last of 2024, had managed a slightly higher growth rate of 2.5%, suggesting the economy was navigating challenges with moderate success.
As Greece continues to work through structural reforms and economic restructuring, the easing of growth rates could prompt additional measures to bolster the nation's economic resilience. Analysts will be watching closely to see how Greece balances these pressures with the need to drive sustainable growth amid fluctuating global economic conditions.
