**Greek Aluminium Ores Imports Surge Amid EU Supply Concerns**
**Greece’s aluminium ore imports jump as European demand rises**
• Greek aluminium ore imports rose 15% in June compared to the same period last year.
• The increase is attributed to higher demand from European smelters, particularly in Germany and Italy.

Greek aluminium ore imports continued their upward trend in June as European demand rose due to supply concerns. Higher prices for imported aluminium ores are being driven by strong demand from German and Italian smelters, who are struggling with domestic supply issues. This has led to an increase in Greek imports, with June shipments rising 15% compared to the same period last year.
