High Debt Alert
Greece's debt-to-GDP of 146.7% exceeds the 70% high-risk threshold. Historical analysis shows a 40% probability of debt restructuring within 5 years at these levels.
Import Cover Critical
Greece's foreign exchange reserves cover only 1.3 months of imports, well below the 3-month minimum threshold. This leaves the economy highly vulnerable to external payment shocks and currency crises.
In Debt Distress
Greece is currently classified as being in debt distress, meaning it is already experiencing difficulty meeting its debt obligations. Immediate restructuring or emergency financing may be required.
Negative Real Returns
Greece's GDP growth of 2.1% is not outpacing inflation at 2.7%, meaning the economy is shrinking in real per-capita terms and eroding the value of domestic investment.
