Annual Service Cost (Cash Basis)

The present chart illustrates the evolution of the annual weighted average interest rate for servicing General Government Debt on a cash basis. This indicator reflects the actual average interest rate at which the Hellenic Republic serviced its debt annually. It is calculated on the basis of interest payments made during the year and is weighted according to the amount of outstanding debt obligations.
From 2022 onwards, the calculation of debt servicing costs also includes the deferred interest on EFSF loans, in accordance with Eurostat Decision No. 6577784/17-09-24. Under this decision, the deferred interest on EFSF loans is now incorporated into the total stock of public debt.
