Greece’s current account surplus widened to EUR 1.743 billion in August 2026 from EUR 1.210 billion in the same month last year, marking the largest surplus since August 2015. The services account surplus increased to EUR 4.552 billion from EUR 4.498 billion, driven largely by higher revenues in travel, transport, and other services. Moreover, the primary income deficit narrowed sharply to EUR 0.021 billion from EUR 0.773 billion a year earlier. On the other hand, the goods account shortfall expanded to EUR 2.342 billion from EUR 2.199 billion, as imports (EUR 6.507 billion) outpaced exports (EUR 4.164 billion). The secondary income deficit also rose to EUR 0.447 billion from EUR 0.316 billion.
