GRThe Greek manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 54.3 in July from 53.8, indicating continued expansion. The improvement coincided with a brief truce in the Middle East, which reportedly boosted demand from both existing and new clients, particularly in international markets. New export orders increased for the first time in six months, and manufacturers expanded employment at the fastest pace since November 2025. Despite rising input costs due to higher energy and material prices, the rate of cost inflation slowed compared to prior months. Manufacturers also reported a significant rise in finished goods inventory levels, citing supplier delivery delays as a contributing factor.
