These updated figures will be included in the medium-term fiscal plan, which Athens is scheduled to submit to the European Commission by the end of this month. While the 2026 budget originally targeted a growth rate of 2.4% and inflation at 2.2%, the new reality of the energy market has forced a more cautious outlook.
