Greece’s trade deficit narrowed to EUR 2.2 billion in April 2026, down from EUR 2.9 billion a year earlier, as exports grew far more rapidly than imports. Exports jumped 35.7% year-on-year to EUR 5.2 billion — the highest level since June 2022 — supported by strong gains in sales to both the EU (up 20.2%) and non-EU countries (up 59.8%).
Imports increased at a more moderate pace of 9.6%, reaching EUR 7.4 billion. This rise was driven by a 23.4% increase in imports from non-EU countries, which more than offset a 0.6% decline in imports from the EU.
For the period January–April, the trade deficit narrowed to EUR 10.4 billion, compared with EUR 11.3 billion in the same period a year earlier.
