Summary
ECB data showed Greeks’ gross wealth exceeded €1 trillion in Q4 2025 after rising 19% across 2024-25.
Property gains drove most of the increase, with home values up 16% in two years, while mutual and investment funds surged 101% and listed stocks rose 42%.
Disposable income still ranks near the bottom of the EU despite growing about 5% annually in 2024-25, outpacing 3% inflation; per-capita income exceeds only Latvia’s and likely Bulgaria’s.
UBS said the gains were unevenly distributed, and negative savings suggest households are drawing down pandemic buffers or borrowing, though gray-economy income is not fully captured.
Median net household wealth stands at €118,000—15th in Europe—highlighting how high property values lift balance sheets, while Alpha Bank sees medium-term support from EU funds, tax cuts and targeted aid.
