Greek bond market

The Greek bond market involves the buying and selling of debt issued by Greece to raise funds for government projects and operations. When Greece needs money, it issues bonds, which are essentially IOUs promising to pay back investors with interest over time. These bonds are traded among investors, and their prices fluctuate based on Greece’s economic health, creditworthiness, and global financial conditions. A strong economy boosts confidence and bond prices, lowering borrowing costs, while economic or political instability raises concerns, increasing interest rates and making bonds more expensive for Greece to issue.
