In October 2025, Greece experienced a widening of its current account deficit, which expanded to EUR 1.09 billion from EUR 0.64 billion in the same month the previous year. The primary income balance transitioned from a surplus of EUR 0.13 billion to a deficit of EUR 0.34 billion. Similarly, the secondary income account reversed to a deficit of EUR 0.25 billion from a surplus of EUR 0.27 billion, a change attributed to decreased receipts and increased payments. On a brighter note, the goods account deficit decreased to EUR 2.69 billion from EUR 3.25 billion, driven by rising exports that outpaced the growth in imports. In contrast, the services account surplus saw a slight decline, registering at EUR 2.19 billion compared to EUR 2.21 billion. Over the ten-month period from January to October, the current account deficit decreased by EUR 1.76 billion year-on-year, amounting to EUR 8.11 billion.
