In April 2025, Romania’s trade deficit expanded to EUR 3.14 billion, up from EUR 2.66 billion in April of the previous year. This deficit is the largest recorded since December 2024. The decline in exports, which fell by 5.4% year-on-year to EUR 7.87 billion, was primarily due to a 4.4% reduction in shipments to EU countries and an even more pronounced 7.2% decrease in sales to non-EU markets. Meanwhile, imports increased by 0.4% compared to the previous year, reaching EUR 11.01 billion. This growth was largely driven by a 6.6% rise in purchases from non-EU countries, which offset the 1.9% decrease in imports from EU nations. Over the first four months of 2025, the trade deficit swelled to EUR 11.61 billion from EUR 9.32 billion during the same period a year prior. This change occurred as exports saw a marginal increase of 0.5%, while imports rose significantly by 6%.
