The current account deficit nearly halved in June 2026 from a year earlier, falling to €602.8 million, according to data released Thursday by the Bank of Greece.

The goods deficit narrowed as exports grew at a faster rate than imports. At current prices, goods exports increased by 27.5% from June 2025, while imports rose by 7.3%. Excluding fuel, exports were up 22.3%, compared with a 5.4% increase in imports.

The services surplus, meanwhile, declined slightly as all of its components weakened, with the transport balance recording the most notable deterioration.

The number of non-resident travelers visiting Greece rose by 6.9% compared with June 2025, while travel receipts increased by 1.2%.
