Rumänien Handelsbilanzsaldo

Romania’s trade deficit widened to EUR 2.95 billion in July 2024 from EUR 2.28 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year, as imports grew more than exports. Year-on-year, imports surged 13.4% to EUR 11.27 billion, driven by higher purchases from EU (6.6%) and non-EU countries (32.9%). Meanwhile, exports rose at a softer 8.6% from a year earlier to EUR 8.32 billion, mainly due to increased sales to EU (5.1%) and non-EU countries (18%). Considering the first seven months of the year, the country’s trade gap increased to EUR 18.04 billion from EUR 15.6 billion to the same period last year.
