According to provisional data released by the Hellenic Statistical Authority on Friday, Greece's economy continued to expand in the first quarter of 2026. After seasonal adjustment, GDP increased by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter, a significant slowdown from the revised 0.7% in the fourth quarter of last year; the year-on-year growth was 2.0%, also lower than the revised 2.3% in the previous quarter.
Structurally, growth in the first quarter was mainly driven by consumption and exports, while investment performed weakly, partially offsetting overall growth momentum. This indicates that Greece's economic growth pace has slowed somewhat after entering 2026, and investment activity may be constrained by financing costs, geopolitical uncertainties, or confidence factors.
From the perspective of trading sentiment and market focus, the combination of slower economic growth but resilient consumption and exports may lead to more complex risk assessments of Greek assets in the market. Going forward, the focus will be on whether investment can rebound, and whether external demand (including tourism and exports) can continue to support economic expansion in coming quarters.

Updates with closing prices By Satoshi Sugiyama TOKYO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Japanese shares fell more than 1% on Thursday, down for a second consecutive session, as investors paused after recent rallies, wary of the US rate outlook, higher yields and geopolitical tensions. The Nikkei 225 Index .N225 fell 1.42% to close at 69,042.11, while the broader Topix .TOPX slid 1.51% to 4,091.46. "Japanese shares had risen at a rapid pace through yesterday, and profit-taking has since picked up. That selling pressure appears to be continuing today," said Hiroki Takei, strategist at Resona Holdings. Japanese AI-related shares were subdued even after Samsung Electronics 005930.KS, the world's largest memory chipmaker, projected a nearly ninefold jump in third-quarter operating profit from the same period last year. Shares of chipmaker Rohm 6963.T lost 5.19%, the biggest percentage drag in nearly a month, while technology investor SoftBank Group 9984.T shed 4.28% and Tokyo Electron 8035.T dropped 2.48%. Concerns over US monetary policy remained in focus after Federal Reserve minutes released on Wednesday showed most participants signalling another rate hike by year-end. Market participants remained wary of French and Italian debt markets, with rising energy prices and fiscal concerns keeping sentiment fragile. Geopolitical tensions also dampened risk appetite, as increased attacks on shipping in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz fuelled concerns over Middle East oil supplies and pushed crude prices higher. Breadth was negative, with 165 decliners in the Nikkei 225 against 56 advancers and four unchanged. The largest percentage losers in the Nikkei were semiconductor silicon wafer supplier Sumco 3436.T, down 5.73%, followed by construction machinery maker Komatsu 6301.T, down 5.52%, and agricultural machinery and equipment maker Kubota Corporation 6326.T, down 5.42%. The largest percentage gainers were cybersecurity software company Trend Micro 4704.T, up 3.89%, followed by IT consulting firm Nomura Research Institute 4307.T, whic
