According to sources and data from Italy's latest budget plan, by the end of this year, Greece will no longer have the highest debt ratio in the Eurozone, and its level of public debt is expected to fall below Italy's. Two senior Greek officials told Reuters that the ratio of Greece's public debt to GDP is expected to fall from 145% in 2025 to about 137% this year. By contrast, Italy's public debt to GDP ratio will rise from 137.1% in 2025 to 138.6% in 2026, according to the multi-year budget plan announced by the Italian Ministry of Finance on Thursday. “Starting this year, Greece will no longer be the country with the highest debt ratio in the Eurozone,” said one of the Greek officials.
