Greece’s Producer Price Index (PPI) fell further into negative territory at the start of 2026, underscoring ongoing disinflationary pressures at the factory gate. In January 2026, the PPI declined by 3.7% year-over-year, compared with a 2.1% annual drop recorded in December 2025, according to data updated on 27 February 2026.
The figures show that price pressures for producers are weakening on an annual basis, with the January reading marking a sharper contraction than in the previous month. Both readings compare prices to the same month a year earlier, indicating that the downward trend in producer prices has intensified as the new year begins.
While softer producer prices can ease cost pressures for downstream businesses, a sustained decline of this magnitude may also signal weaker demand or excess capacity in parts of the Greek industrial sector, with potential implications for corporate margins and investment decisions going forward.
