The Greek economy has been ranked by The Economist at the top of the list for the second consecutive year.

Greece has finished as the best of 35 countries in The Economist‘s 2023 analysis, which is based on five economic and financial indicators (inflation, “inflation range,” GDP, jobs, and stock market performance).

The country secured the top position for the first time in their analysis from last year, ahead of 34 prosperous nations.

The Economist notes “some surprising results” in Greece’s performance across the five indicators, which contribute to the overall score assigned to each country.

Of particular note is the 43.8 per cent increase in the stock market value of the Greek market, according to The Economist’s report.
