Greece reports regular trade deficits due to high volume of imports. Main imports are mineral fuels, machinery and transport equipment and chemicals. In recent years, the biggest trade deficits were recorded with Russia, Germany, China, Italy and France. Greece records trade surpluses with Turkey, Cyprus, United States, Algeria and United Arab Emirates.

Latest Updates

The trade deficit in Greece rose slightly to EUR 2.9 billion in July 2025 from EUR 2.8 billion in the corresponding month a year earlier, as exports fell much faster than imports. Exports declined by 7.3% year-on-year to EUR 4.4 billion, dragged by a steep drop in sales to non-EU countries (-16.8%), which offset a modest rise in shipments to the EU (+0.9%). Meanwhile, imports decreased by 3.1% to EUR 7.3 billion amid reduced purchases from non-EU countries (-10.0%), while imports from the EU increased (+3.5%). Considering the first seven months of the year, the country’s trade gap narrowed slightly to EUR 19.5 billion from EUR 19.6 billion in the same period last year.
