Greece’s current account balance weakened in December 2025, with the deficit deepening to €3.862 billion, compared with a revised shortfall of €2.078 billion in November 2025. The latest figures, updated on 20 February 2026, highlight a notable deterioration in external balances at the end of the year.

The data are assessed on a year‑over‑year basis, meaning the December 2025 reading is compared to December of the previous year, while November’s figure was similarly benchmarked against November a year earlier. The widening gap suggests mounting pressure on Greece’s external position, as imports, income flows or other outflows have outpaced corresponding inflows more than they did in the prior month.

For investors and policymakers, the sharper deficit in December underscores potential vulnerabilities in Greece’s balance of payments heading into 2026, and may prompt closer scrutiny of trade dynamics, tourism receipts, and capital flows in the months ahead.
