In June 2025, Romania experienced a reduction in its trade deficit, which decreased to EUR 2.37 billion from EUR 2.80 billion in the same month the previous year. This improvement was largely due to a notable increase in exports, which grew by 6.3% year-on-year to reach EUR 8.22 billion. This surge was driven by a 9% rise in sales to non-EU markets and a 5.25% increase in shipments to EU countries. In contrast, imports saw a modest growth of just 0.6% compared to the previous year, totaling EUR 10.59 billion. This growth was primarily due to a 3.5% increase in purchases from EU markets, while there was a 6.7% decline in imports from non-EU markets. For the first half of the year, the trade deficit expanded to EUR 16.71 billion from EUR 16.17 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year, as exports rose by 3.1% and imports grew by 4.9%.
