Greek exports are entering a new historic high in 2026, with the country’s non-energy export base closing at one of its strongest performances in a decade, setting the stage for further strengthening at a time when the international environment remains fraught with uncertainties.

The recently announced trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, which imposes a 15% tariff on certain European goods, is expected to have only limited effects on Greece’s export market, according to experts and officials.

The global demand for Greek marble, a material with which the Parthenon was built and continues to contribute significantly to the economic prosperity of Greece, translates to $ 1.5 billion. This was pointed out in an interview with the China state television station CGTN, by the president of the Macedonian-Thrace Marble Business Association (SEMMTH), Ioulia Haida, deputy managing director of Iktinos Hellas SA.
