Greece’s public debt stood at 362.8 billion euros at the end of 2025, down 2.15 billion euros compared to 364.95 billion euros at the end of 2024.
At the same time, the General Government’s cash reserves increased to 39.5 billion euros from 36.2 billion euros respectively. If they are deducted from the total debt – given that they are part of it – the General Government’s net debt is limited to 323.22 billion euros, from 328.68 billion euros at the end of 2024.
Public Debt data also showed an increase in government repos to 62.8 billion euros from 56.9 billion euros at the end of 2024. This amount concerns short-term, revolving loans granted by General Government entities to the Greek State, state-run news agency amna.gr reported.
In comparison:
- 2010: Approximately €330–331 billion (around 148% of GDP). This marked the early stage of the debt crisis, with debt surging after revelations of underreported deficits.
- 2015: Approximately €315 billion (around 180% of GDP). Debt stabilized somewhat in nominal terms after bailouts and restructuring, but the ratio rose sharply due to GDP contraction from austerity.
- 2019: Approximately €339 billion (around 183–184% of GDP). This reflects post-crisis stabilization, with the ratio still high but below peak levels seen in 2020–2021 due to the pandemic.
- 2025: As of late 2025 (e.g., Q3 data), the debt stood at around €368 billion (approximately 150% of GDP, with quarterly figures ranging 149.7–152% and full-year estimates around 147–152%). Greece has been reducing the ratio through growth, primary surpluses, and early repayments (e.g., a €5.3 billion early payoff in late 2025). Forecasts for end-2025 or projections suggest continued decline toward 140–147%.
Note: Nominal debt (in €) has remained relatively stable or grown modestly since the crisis peaks, while the debt-to-GDP ratio has fallen significantly in recent years due to economic recovery and GDP growth. For the most precise current data, refer to official sources like Eurostat or the Hellenic Statistical Authority, as figures can be revised.
Yet another crisis coming soon!!!! 😵💫
