April 1 (Reuters) - Greece's jobless rate stood at 8.6% in February, down from an upwardly revised 9.1% in January, data from statistics service ELSTAT showed on Tuesday.

Seasonally adjusted data showed 404,581 people were officially unemployed.

Unemployment impacted women more than men, at the rates of 11.3% and 6.4%, respectively.

The jobless rate for young people aged 15 to 24 years dropped to 16.8% in February from 28.9% in the same month in 2024, ELSTAT said. (Reporting by Athina Karolidou and Antonis Pothitos in Gdansk)

All Fixed Income News

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.
