**Greek Imports of Leather Goods Rise in June**
**Leather demand driven by tourism and manufacturing sector**
• Greek imports of articles of gut, bladders & tendons (HS Code 4206) increased by 12.5% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The rise in imports is attributed to growing demand from the country’s tourism industry, which continues to recover post-pandemic.
• Prices for these goods remain stable, with an average cost per unit increasing by only 2.1% during the month.
Greece’s leather imports have picked up pace as the country’s manufacturing sector benefits from a rebound in global demand.
