Greece's Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) has risen slightly in June 2025, according to the latest data released on July 9, 2025. The HICP, a crucial indicator of inflation used within the European Union, stood at 3.6% in June, up from 3.3% in May. This marks a year-over-year comparison of inflation rates between June 2025 and June 2024.
The modest increase suggests a continued rise in the overall price level of goods and services consumed by households. The slight uptick from May to June reflects ongoing inflationary pressures that have been evident throughout the year. The data reveal the persistent nature of these pressures, challenging Greek economic policymakers as they balance inflation with economic growth targets.
The rise in the HICP could have broader implications for consumers and businesses in Greece, potentially influencing purchasing power and spending behaviors. As Greece and the broader EU continue to navigate the complexities of economic recovery, monitoring these inflationary trends will remain pivotal to inform policy decisions and economic projections.
