'What happened in Greece in the first quarter of 2026
Real household disposable income per capita fell by 3.6% compared with the previous quarter, the steepest drop among OECD countries.
According to the OECD, the decline is mainly due to two factors: a reduction in net property income, such as interest, dividends and investment income, and a reduction in net social benefits to households.' |  |

But HDI is assessed by UN agencies - not the Greek government, IMF or whoever else you think is conspiring to skew the numbers. It’s also a trend - pretty much YoY improvements (versus bailout baseline) rather than an isolated quarter which you’ve linked.
Would also add you’ve picked a financial metric (and a very specific one at that), rather than the lifestyle, quality of life metrics I evidenced. Isn’t health, life expectancy, education etc what you want more of than ‘money for stuff’? Seems ironic you went for the most capitalist metric, rather than quality of life - knew I’d convert you eventually… [Post edited 19 Oct 18:15]

It's got past the point of being fixable IMHO. A complete reset is required starting with the holders of debt taking a hit. Guess what, it's meant to be a risk! |
then who would want to lend to governments in the future ? The whole point of government borrowing from a lenders point of view is that it is safe and reliable though unspectacular. [Post edited 19 Oct 16:35]

You've cherry picked one quarter to fit your narrative. Pretty much any other quarter in the last three years would show healthy growth in household income. 5.1% in 2023, 2.5% in 2024, and 1.7% in 2025. Fixing France doesn't require the end of capitalism, just sensible govt like Greece. |  | | |
