**Greek Imports of Petroleum Resins Surge Amid Seasonal Demand**
**Greece’s Energy Sector Sees Boost in Imported Resin Supplies**
• Greek imports of petroleum resins rose 15% YoY in June, driven by increased demand for downstream products.
• The surge is attributed to seasonal factors, as temperatures rise and energy consumption increases across the country.
• Global prices for petroleum resins have stabilized this quarter, contributing to Greece’s lower import costs.
Greece’s imports of petroleum resins, a key component in various industrial applications, experienced a notable uptick in June. This increase coincides with the start of peak summer demand, as households and industries rely more heavily on energy-intensive products. The stabilization of global prices has also helped reduce Greece’s import costs, making its energy sector slightly more competitive.
