About this series
The general government deficit series records the period's fiscal balance under the source's accounting and sign convention. A deficit indicates a shortfall; the series is a flow, not a debt stock. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.
In Greece, the general government deficit reading was 1.7% of GDP in 2025, compared with 1.3% of GDP in 2024. The period change was +0.4 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −1.55% of GDP.
