UPDATE 1-Greece sees 2026 economic growth at 2.4%, says fiscal council

Greece expects its economy to grow faster in 2026, outperforming Europe's major economies, thanks to higher investment and robust consumer spending, according to the government's 2026 final budget plan, cited by the Greek fiscal council on Thursday.

The government expects economic output to rise 2.4% next year following expansion of 2.2% this year, partly with the help of European Union recovery funds. The fiscal council, an independent body that evaluates macroeconomic projections, said it adopted the government's projections for next year.

Greek Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis is expected to submit the final 2026 budget plan to parliament later on Thursday.
