What is shaping Banking & Finance in Greece in 2026

For years, the conversation around Greece’s banking sector was shaped by recovery. Today, the focus has shifted.

In the latest Banking & Finance Overview for the Chambers and Partners , Konstantinos Vouterakos Senior Partner, Apostolos Georgantas and Vasileios Douzenis Partners, and Athanasios Misirlis Senior Associate, look at a market that is moving into a new phase, stronger, more active and more strategically positioned within the European financial landscape.

A few of the themes we explore include:

• Greece’s return to investment-grade status and its effect on funding conditions and market confidence

• the sharp reduction in non-performing exposures, allowing banks to refocus on new lending

• growing momentum in corporate, project and energy finance, supported in part by RRF-backed investment

• the increasing weight of regulation, ESG considerations and digital resilience in financing decisions
