Greece’s current account balance recorded a strong improvement in August 2026, with the surplus rising to 1.743 billion euros, up from 0.218 billion euros in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 21 October 2026, point to a notable strengthening in Greece’s external position at the peak of the summer season.
The August figure also reflects a year-over-year improvement, as the current reading is assessed against the same month a year earlier. Similarly, the July 2026 result was evaluated on a year-over-year basis, offering a consistent comparison of Greece’s external balance over time. While the detailed drivers of the shift were not disclosed, the pronounced jump in the surplus underscores a markedly more favorable current account performance as the third quarter progresses.
