Latest Updates

The trade deficit in Greece narrowed to EUR 2.7 billion in October 2025 from EUR 3.3 billion in the corresponding month last year, as exports rose while imports dropped. Exports grew by 5.8% year-on-year to EUR 4.3 billion, driven by higher sales to both the EU (4.5%) and third countries (7.5%). Meanwhile, imports dropped by 5% to EUR 6.9 billion, weighed down by declines in arrivals from both the EU (-2.1%) and third countries (8.7%). Over the January-October period, the trade deficit narrowed to EUR 27.1 billion from 28.8 billion in the same month of the previous year.
