Overview
Greece's fdi inflows stood at 2.82% in 2025, a rise of +0.19% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.82% by 2025. Greece ranked 95th globally.
Greece’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have risen from a modest 0.39 in 1970 to 2.82 in 2025, placing the country 95th in the world and closely matching Finland’s 2.83 for the same year. The trajectory shows a pronounced upswing after the all‑time trough of –0.01 in 2000, when the post‑crisis environment briefly turned net outflows negative. The peak of 3.70 recorded in 2022 reflects a period of renewed investor confidence, driven by structural reforms and the country’s integration into European supply chains. Over the 56‑year span, the upward trend has been reinforced by Greece’s improving fiscal position and its strategic location as a gateway to the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Continued progress in regulatory simplification, digital infrastructure and labour market flexibility will be crucial to sustain the recent gains and potentially lift Greece into a higher global ranking in the coming years.
