The public debt of Greece will decrease in 2025 to approximately 137% of GDP, down from 145% in the previous year, which will make it no longer the most indebted country in the eurozone. In contrast, Italy will record an increase in public debt, from 137.1% in 2025 to 138.6% in 2026, according to the Italian Treasury's multiannual budget plan.

The Italian Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, confirmed that Italy's debt will continue to rise, stabilizing later. Greece has significantly reduced its public debt in recent years, with a decrease of over 45 percentage points since 2020, due to fiscal consolidation and early repayments of loans. Eurostat data shows a slight increase in public debt in the eurozone, from 87% to 87.8%. The lowest levels of debt are recorded in Estonia, Luxembourg, and Denmark, while Greece and Italy remain among the most indebted countries in the EU.
