A strategic juncture for Europe, Asia and Africa, the Hellenic Republic commonly known as Greece shipped US$54 billion worth of exported products around the globe in 2024.

That dollar amount results from a 53.9% increase compared to $35.1 billion five years earlier during 2020.

Year over year, the overall value of Greek exports fell by -1.9% from $55.1 billion in 2023.

Based on the average exchange rate for 2024, Greece uses the euro which flatlined via a 0.02% gain against the US dollar from 2024 to 2024. The slightly stronger European Union currency made Greece's exports paid for in weaker US dollars modestly more expensive for international buyers.

Greece's 5 most valuable export products are refined petroleum oils, medication mixes in dosage, aluminum plates or sheets or strips, electrical energy then cheese and curd. Collectively, that leading quintet of products represents almost two-fifths (37.4%) of total Greek shipments in 2024. That percentage suggests a relatively concentrated portfolio of products.
