Greece plans to make a new, large, early debt repayment of approximately 13 billion euros in 2026, capitalizing on strong fiscal results and high cash reserves, according to information cited by Bloomberg.
The Greek economy is outperforming, leading to an exceedance of fiscal targets and a primary surplus. The goal is for the debt-to-GDP ratio to fall to 137% in 2026, surpassing Italy.

Greece is accelerating its strategy of early public debt repayments, with two additional repayments worth a combined 4.7 billion euros scheduled before the end of 2026, following an initial transaction completed on June 15. The government’s objective is to further improve the country’s debt profile, reduce future financing needs, and speed up the decline of the debt-to-GDP ratio.

Greece will make a €6.9 billion early debt repayment in June that will push its debt-to-GDP ratio below Italy's for the first time, ending its status as the Eurozone's most indebted nation relative to economic output — a symbolic milestone that carries significant weight for a country that needed three international bailouts to avoid bankruptcy.
