Greece’s external balance showed a marked improvement in mid-summer, with the current account shifting from deficit to surplus in July 2026. The indicator moved from a revised level of -0.603 billion euros in June 2026 to 0.218 billion euros in July 2026, according to data updated on 21 September 2026.
The turnaround signals a notable strengthening in Greece’s external position over the month, and on a year-over-year basis July’s figure is assessed against the same month a year earlier, in line with the comparison methodology. The previous month’s reading for June similarly reflected a year-over-year comparison, allowing observers to track how Greece’s current account dynamics are evolving across comparable seasonal periods.
