The Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ) carried Savvas Savvaidis's analysis of Greece's double rating decision as a national wire story on Sunday, 20 September 2026 — republished the same morning by Capital.gr, ΤΑ ΝΕΑ, Insider.gr, iefimerida.gr and HuffPost Greece.
The wire reported the analysis in full: Scope Ratings' upgrade of Greece to BBB+, the country's highest rating since the debt crisis and level with Italy; Moody's shift to a positive outlook hours earlier; and Greek bond yields now below those of France, Italy and the United States. The firm's data travelled with full attribution — €6.11 billion of expressed buyer demand in the first half of 2026, up 35% year-on-year, British demand up 60%, non-dom buyers at 29% of top-tier transactions, the €5 million-plus segment at 70% of demand value, and a completed transaction record of €650 million, cited from The State of Greek Luxury Property at Mid-Year 2026. [figures as of Mid-Year 2026]
"A country’s credit rating is the first factor an international investor considers when allocating capital. When Greece’s rating is upgraded, every discussion about Greek assets begins from a stronger position, and the residential market is where this confidence becomes most tangible."
