Greece borrows for less than France and Italy

Greece maintains lower borrowing costs compared to other Eurozone countries like France and Italy despite rising interest rates across Europe. While European bond markets experienced a sell-off driven by fears of inflation and potential interest rate hikes, Greek government bonds showed resilience. Factors contributing to this include effective debt management, such as early repayment of €4.7 billion this year, a longer average debt maturity of 18 years compared to 7.6 years for other peripheral Eurozone nations, substantial cash reserves of €30 billion, improved economic fundamentals, and reduced borrowing needs for 2023. These elements have positioned Greece as an outlier in the current financial climate.
