Latest Updates

Romania's trade deficit widened to EUR 3.14 billion in April 2025 from EUR 2.66 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year, marking the largest shortfall since December 2024. Exports fell by 5.4% year-on-year to EUR 7.87 billion, weighed down by a 4.4% drop in shipments to EU countries and a sharper 7.2% decline in sales to non-EU markets. On the other hand, imports grew by 0.4% from a year earlier to EUR 11.01 billion, primarily due to a 6.6% increase in purchases from non-EU countries, despite a 1.9% fall in purchases from EU countries. In the first four months of the year, the trade deficit widened to EUR 11.61 billion from EUR 9.32 billion in the same period a year earlier, as exports rose by just 0.5%, while imports increased more notably by 6%.
