Goldman Sachs has significantly increased its target for the Athens Stock Exchange to 2,500 points, reflecting a positive outlook among international analysts for the Greek capital market leading into 2026. This revision is particularly noteworthy given the historically conservative nature of Goldman Sachs’ previous forecasts, which usually lack bold projections regarding the General Index’s performance.

Previously, in March 2025, Goldman Sachs raised its target for the Greek market from 1,550 to 1,700 points, a move that was predictive as the General Index had already achieved that level by the time of the report's release. This rapid adjustment indicates a notable confidence in the market's upward trajectory, with the bank subsequently raising its target to 2,100 points just a month later, demonstrating a dynamic reassessment of the market's potential.

The implications of this positive outlook not only boost investor confidence but also suggest a potential shift in the fiscal landscape of Greece. With a more favorable view presented by a major financial institution like Goldman Sachs, there may be increased interest and investment in Greek equities, potentially enhancing the local economy and stabilizing the markets in the long term.
