Grocery store inflation in Greece fell to 1.78% in June, down from 2.47%
Grocery store inflation in Greece fell to 1.78% in June, down from 2.47% in May, according to data released by the Institute for Retail Consumer Goods Research (IELKA). The monthly inflation rate showed a 0.35% decrease, while the 12-month figure (July 2024 – June 2025) recorded a marginal annual rise of just 0.25%.
IELKA notes that overall inflationary pressures during the first half of 2025 have been relatively mild, averaging 1.13%. These are largely attributed to global price increases in key raw materials such as cocoa, coffee, and meat.
Biggest Price Drops
Significant year-on-year price decreases were observed in several product categories in June 2025:
• Cleaning products and detergents: -8.28%
• Dry grocery items: -5.40%
• Personal care, paper goods, cosmetics: -3.13%
• Appetizers and delicatessen items: -2.72%
• Pet food and supplies: -0.52%
IELKA attributes these declines to a general stabilization of the market and falling producer prices in key product segments, including a notable easing in olive oil prices.
Steepest Price Hikes
On the other end, the steepest price increases compared to June 2024 were recorded in:
• Fresh meats: +10.80%
• Biscuits, chocolates, and sweets: +10.19%
