The annual inflation rate in Greece rose to 2.6% in December 2025 from 2.4% in the previous month.

This marked the highest rate since August, mainly driven by a faster price increase for food and non-alcoholic beverages, accelerating to a twenty-month high of 3.6% from 2.7% in November.

Additionally, inflation increased further clothing and footwear (1.8% vs 1.3%), transport (1.7% vs 0.7%), and recreation and culture (1% vs 0.7%), while it remained steady for household equipment (at 0.5%), education (at 2.8%), and miscellaneous goods and services (at 0.6%).

On the other hand, price growth softened for housing (2.8% vs 3.7%), health (0.4% vs 0.6%), and communication (0.3% vs 0.5%).

On a monthly basis, consumer prices grew by 0.3% in December, following a 0.1% gain in the preceding period.
