ATHENS, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Greece's current account deficit shrank in November compared to the same month in 2023, the Bank of Greece said on Monday.

Central bank data showed the current account deficit was 3.15 million euros ($3.25 million) in November, down from a deficit of 3.18 billion euros in the same month a year ago.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
