The "rally" of high prices continues in Greece, with inflation hitting 4.4% in June. Consumers are bearing the brunt as the cost of essential goods and fuel continues to climb, making supermarket shopping a painful experience.

Prices for meats have surged significantly. Lamb and goat have seen the steepest annual increases at 16.2%, followed by beef at 15.6% and fish at 11.1%. Margarine and vegetable fats also rose by 9.7%.

The overall inflation rate of 4.4% in June, compared to the same month in 2025, is largely attributed to increases in food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as other goods and services. This inflationary pressure is widespread, affecting everything from clothing and footwear to housing and household items.

Consumers are struggling to cope with these rising prices, attempting to limit their expenses to make ends meet. The relentless increase in the cost of living is squeezing household budgets across the country.
