Tourism receipts for December of last year reached 344.2 million euros compared to 288.9 million euros in 2019, marking an increase of 19.1%. It’s also worth noting that in 2022, tourism revenue was 17.6 billion euros.

A significant reduction was recorded in December, as well as for the entirety of 2023, in the current account deficit, mainly due to the improvement in the balances of goods, services, and secondary incomes, partially offset by the deterioration of the primary income balance.
Specifically, according to data released by the Bank of Greece, in December 2023, the current account deficit decreased by 459.8 million euros compared to December 2022, reaching 2.2 billion euros.
