**Greek Imports of Prepared Explosives Surge Amid Seasonal Demand**
**Greece Seeks Increased Supplies for Quarrying and Construction Industry**
• Greece’s imports of prepared explosives rose by 15% in Q1 2024 compared to the same period last year.
• The surge is attributed to seasonal demand from the quarrying and construction industries, which experience increased activity during spring months.
• Prices for imported prepared explosives remained relatively stable due to ample global supply.
Greek imports of prepared explosives have experienced a moderate increase as the country’s construction and quarrying sectors enter their peak season. This uptick in demand is expected to continue through Q2 2024, driven by ongoing infrastructure projects and increased mining activity. While prices for imported goods remain steady, traders are closely monitoring global supply dynamics to ensure timely deliveries and maintain market stability.
