ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In November 2025, Istat estimates, for trade with non-EU countries, a wide reduction in imports (-7.4%) while exports are stationary. The monthly export stocking is a synthesis of an increase in sales of capital goods (+4.2%) and intermediate goods (+0.7%) and a reduction in energy exports (-9.2%), non-durable consumer goods (-3.5%) and durable (-1.1%). On the export side, except for intermediate goods (+1.6%), widespread economic decreases are found, the broadest for non-durable consumer goods (-21%). In the quarter of September-November 2025, compared to the previous one, export fell by 0.4%; to contribute are lower energy sales (-18.3%), durable consumer goods (-4.0%) and instrumental goods (-3.7%), while exports of intermediate goods (+5.0%) and non-durable consumer goods (+1.1%). In the same period, import decreases by 0.9%, due to lower energy purchases (-14.0%) and instrumental goods (-5.0%). In November 2025 the export flette on an annual basis of 3.3% (it was +4.1% in October). The trend of domestic exports to non-EU markets is due to lower energy sales (-37.8%), durable consumer goods (-27.2%), instrumental goods (- 6.3%) and non-durable consumer goods (- 1.2%); by contrast, increases the export of intermediate goods (+11.9%). The import recorded a broader tensile bending (-11.3%), which concerns all groupings, except for intermediate goods (+0.9%), in content increase.
In November 2025 the trade surplus with the non-EU27 countries amounted to +6.918 million euros (+5.358 million in the same month of 2024). The energy deficit (-3.152 million) is less than one year earlier (-4.177 million). The advance in the exchange of non-energy products rose from 9.536 million November 2024 to 10.070 million November 2025. In November 2025, large annual export reductions to Turkey (-41.1%), ASEAN countries (- 21.6%) and the United Kingdom (- 18.0%); sales to MERCOSUR countries (- 5.8%) and the United States (-3%). Exports to OPEC countries (+18.8%) and Switzerland (+12.2%). Imports from the OPEC countries (-34.6%) record the largest tensile contraction; also decrease purchases from Switzerland (-14.1%), United Kingdom (-12.6%), United States (-8.2%), Turkey (-6.8%) and China (-4.2%). On the other hand, imports from ASEAN countries (+19.4%), India (+2.7%) and MERCOSUR countries (+2.6%).
“In November, export to non-EU27 countries is stationary on a monthly basis – comments Istat –. On a yearly basis, its decline, explained above all by the lower exports of durable consumer goods and instrumental goods, is influenced by the sales of marine means recorded in November 2024; net of these, it is estimated a less wide stretch bending (from -3.3% to -1.7%). In a context of widespread contractions, the economic reduction of import is particularly due to minor purchases of non-durable consumer goods; its tendential decline, to lower energy imports. In the first eleven months of 2025, the trend of exports to non-EU countries is positive (+2.0%, +2.5% net of energy); that of the import is more supported (+3.8%). The trade surplus with non-EU countries is equal to +47.6 billion euros (was +50.6 billion in the same period of 2024).
