France Imports

France's imports fell by 0.4% to €57.33 billion in August 2025, reaching a three-month low. This decrease follows July 2025's €57.58 billion. The decline was driven by a 4.5% drop in transport equipment manufacturing and a 4.7% decrease in coke and refined petroleum product production. Industrial production in France also declined by 0.7% in August with manufacturing output falling similarly. The business climate in retail trade and motor vehicle trade and repair worsened in August. France's record low imports was €1.15 billion in May 1970 and record high was €70 billion in September 2022.
