The Producer Price Index (PPI) in Greece showed signs of recovery in September 2025, albeit continuing to tread negative territory. Released on October 30, 2025, the latest data indicates that Greece's PPI has improved slightly to -1.1% compared to the previous month's indicator of -1.7% recorded in August 2025. This adjustment still reflects a year-over-year decline but suggests a slowdown in the rate of fall.
Greece has been grappling with economic challenges that have affected various industrial sectors. The PPI, a critical measure of inflation at the wholesale level, indicates the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. An improving PPI number, even when negative, might suggest an easing in price pressures on Greek manufacturers who have been enduring persistent deflationary trends.
This subtle improvement in September could signal some stabilization within Greece's economic landscape or a potential easing of monetary and economic constraints. Economists and industry stakeholders will be closely monitoring the upcoming months to see if this narrowing trend continues, offering some respite to the industrial sector bothered by price competitiveness issues on an international scale.
