Greece's economic relationship with China is accelerating, driven by a sharp rise in exports and a recovery in tourism, according to the Beijing Office for Economic and Commercial Affairs' 2025 Annual Report.
The data points to a more optimistic outlook for bilateral ties, even as Greece maintains a significant trade deficit with the world's second-largest economy.
The report underscores a broadening of commercial engagement beyond traditional sectors.
While investment flows remain robust, the surge in Greek exports suggests that Athens is successfully leveraging its position as a gateway to Europe for Chinese goods and services.
This development aligns with a wider trend of Chinese export acceleration, which recently saw mainland and Hong Kong equity markets advance on news of a 27 percent year-on-year jump in Chinese exports for June.
For investors, the strengthening Greece-China link offers a potential tailwind for Greek equities and the drachma-pegged eurozone periphery.
