Greek retail sales expanded at a slightly faster pace in February 2026, pointing to resilient consumer demand early in the year. Year-over-year retail volumes rose 4.6% in February, up from a revised 4.3% annual increase recorded in January 2026.
The data, updated on 30 April 2026, compare each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier, indicating that Greek households continued to spend at a solid clip despite lingering economic uncertainty in the broader European landscape. The acceleration, while modest, suggests a steady underpinning from domestic consumption, a key component of Greece’s growth outlook.
With February marking a second consecutive month of robust year-on-year gains, the latest figures will likely be welcomed by policymakers and businesses looking for confirmation that Greece’s consumer sector remains on a stable growth path.
