Greece's pharmaceutical sector is second, in the industrial category, in terms of value of exports, with aluminum and aluminum byproducts manufacturers in first place, according to a study by the Bank of Greece (BoG), released this week.
The same study notes that the specific sector has been significantly affected by the nearly nine-year economic implosion in the country of 11 million euros.
The percentage that pharmaceuticals comprise in the overall Greek exports figure - excluding refined fuels - is 6 percent, placing them in second place for 2017. Aluminum exports are 8 percent of the total, the largest industrial export recorded by the country.
