The trade deficit in Greece narrowed to EUR 2.80 billion in January 2026, down from a revised EUR 2.83 billion recorded in the same month a year earlier, even as both exports and imports posted declines.
Exports fell 11.9% year-on-year to EUR 3.6 billion, largely weighed down by decreased sales to EU countries (-2.2%), and to third countries (-23.6%).
At the same time, imports declined by 7.4% to EUR 6.4 billion, reflecting lower purchases from the EU (-5.3%), and from third countries (-9.5%).
