Tourist influx boosts Greece’s economy
Higher tourist arrivals helped drive up Greece's services balance surplus in the first seven months of 2024, according to figures for the balance of payments in January-July 2024 released by the Bank of Greece on Friday. It attributed the increase to, primarily, the travel balance and, secondarily, the transport and other services balances. Non-residents’ arrivals increased by 11.2% year-on-year and the relevant receipts rose by 5.6%, rising to 10.95 billion euros, CE Report quotes ANA-MPA.
