In July 2026, the euro area recorded a trade surplus of €14.2 billion, increasing compared to €7.2 billion in June 2026. Compared to July 2025, when the surplus stood at 10.7 billion euros, an improvement of 3.5 billion euros was recorded. The increase was mainly determined by a greater surplus in chemicals and related products, other manufacturing goods and food and beverages, partially offset by a decrease in surplus in machinery and vehicles.

Exports of euro area goods to the rest of the world increased to 1.763.6 billion euros (an increase of 1.2% compared to the January-July 2025 period), while imports increased to 1.746.6 billion euros (an increase of 5.8% compared to the same period).
