My people, Greece get beta plan as dem dey waka enter 2026 with strong economic dreams, but e no be all rosy as wahala dey follow am.

Dem budget wey dem release show say Greece dey expect economic growth wey go reach 10.2% for 2026. Na big jump from 5.7% wey dem dey chop for 2025. This growth no go just drop from sky, na because of private-sector hustle and serious public investment wey dem dey plan to drop like €16.7 billion next year. If dem fit pull am off, na that time dem go see say dem dey run faster than other eurozone countries wey dey expect 2.5% growth.

But, make we shine our eyes! This past records dey show say dem no fit always meet their investment targets. Last year, dem plan 15.1% growth, but na only 4.5% dem see. Maybe as dem dey plan big things for 2026, dem go fit fulfill am dis time?

Yet, inflation na another palava for Greece. Analysts dey talk say inflation go dey around 2.2% to 2.5% for next year, meaning prices no go just drop like that. Food and rent still dey wahala for people wey dey struggle to make ends meet after dem don suffer for past four years of high prices.

Economists dey raise alarm say dis growth wey dem dey plan fit no happen if dem no manage to absorb all the EU money wey dem don suppose get before di Recovery Fund close for August 2026. Dis fit make dem stumble again, if dem no handle am well.

Recent report from IOBE dey show say if dem no find new ways to boost investment after di EU fund waka, GDP fit drop down to 1% over di next five years. Governor of Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, don already flag am say nearly €11.4 billion no don reach di economy from di EU Recovery and Resilience Facility. So, how dem go fit take matter come 2026 as e suppose dey?

Greece dey face serious challenge because even salary wey dey come dey lag behind prices, making everything dey tight for everyone. E go really mean somtin if dem fit start di New Year strong and ensure say people fit see dat dey pocket dey expand instead of squeeze.

As we dey enter 2026, all eyes go dey on Greece to see how dem go handle dis matter and wetin dem go do to really make sure sey economic progress no go remain just numbers, but real life improvement for di everyday person.
