Greece, 8 billion euros from financial markets in 2026/ 2026 budget predicts 13 billion euros of net debt
Greece is expected to raise around 8 billion euros from financial markets in 2026. The Public Debt Management Agency's plan foresees that of the country's borrowing needs in 2026, an amount of around 8 billion euros will be covered through bond issuance.
This year, the Greek state has raised around 7.5 billion euros from the markets. In 2026, as state budget data shows, the state’s net borrowing will reach 13 billion euros, up from around 8 billion euros this year. This development reflects, on the one hand, the state’s higher cash financing needs, which are expected to reach 30.1 billion euros in 2026, up from 14.08 billion euros this year.
At the same time, in 2026, following the permission it received in recent days from the European Stability Mechanism, the country will allocate around 5 billion euros for the early repayment of intergovernmental loans, as the government's goal is for these loans to be repaid by 2031.
However, this money will come from what is known as the state reserve and not from new borrowing. In 2025, the state allocated about 8 billion euros for the early repayment of loans under the First Memorandum, of which about 5 billion euros also came from the state reserve.
Regarding the state's borrowing program for the new year, budget data shows that long-term borrowing will reach 12.7 billion euros, up from 11 billion euros in 2025.
