**Greece Sees Surge in Wooden Frame Imports Amid Construction Boom**
**Increased Demand for Building Materials Drives Import Activity**
• Greek imports of wooden frames rose 12.5% year-on-year to 15,600 units in June.
• The increase follows a 7.3% growth in construction activity during the same period, driven by government stimulus packages.
• Prices for wooden frames have remained stable at around €200 per unit.
A surge in construction activity across Greece has led to an uptick in imports of wooden frames, with builders scrambling to meet demand for new residential and commercial projects. The increase in imports is also being fueled by a rise in refurbishment work, as homeowners upgrade their properties ahead of the summer tourist season. Industry experts expect this trend to continue throughout the year, driven by Greece’s growing economy and infrastructure development projects.
