The Kosmima trade exhibition, Northern Greece’s sole fair for silver, goldsmithing, and watchmaking, opened at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition and Conference Centre (TIF-Helexpo). The event featured 73 exhibitors from Greece, Estonia, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The Panhellenic Federation of Silversmiths, Goldsmiths, Jewellers, and Watchmakers (POBAKO) projected a 15% drop in turnover for 2026 and an 8% decline in active members.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The jewellery sector is facing stiff economic pressures, citing reduced tourist spending and ongoing inflation affecting retail sales. POBAKO has called on the government to abolish the luxury tax on jewellery. Separately, TIF-Helexpo is undergoing a multi-million euro redevelopment, with construction scheduled to begin in 2027.

MOMus is co-organizing an exhibition with TIF-Helexpo, which also collaborates on cultural activities in Thessaloniki.
