Exports fell by 0.4% year-on-year to €8,012.6 million, driven by a 40% drop in mineral fuels. Imports decreased by 2.1% to €7,787.1 million mainly due to lower mineral fuel purchases. Trade with EU countries yielded a surplus of nearly €1.2 billion while trade with non-EU countries resulted in a deficit of almost €1 billion. The January-August 2025 trade surplus narrowed to €1,600.7 million from €2,592.9 million in the prior year.
