Greece Trade Deficit Narrows in June

Greece’s trade deficit narrowed to EUR 2.6 billion in June 2026, down from EUR 3.2 billion in the same month a year earlier, though it remained the widest shortfall of the past three months. Exports jumped 26.3% year-on-year to EUR 5.0 billion, driven by robust growth in shipments both to EU member states (up 29.8%) and to non-EU countries (up 21.4%). Imports increased 6.5% to EUR 7.6 billion, reflecting higher purchases from EU partners (up 4.8%) and from third countries (up 8.6%). For the January–June period, the trade deficit shrank to EUR 15.1 billion, compared with EUR 16.9 billion in the same period a year earlier.
