Economic Buzz: Eurozone goods trade deficit at ?1B in April

The Eurozone recorded a ?1 billion trade deficit in goods in April, compared to a surplus of ?8.7 billion a year ago, Eurostat said in a report released on Monday. The European Union's trade reached a ?7.1 billion deficit, down from a ?7.3 billion surplus in April 2025. The change was mainly attributed to an increase in the energy deficit and a reduced surplus in the machinery and vehicles product group.

The euro area's exports grew 5% year-on-year to ?255.4 billion, while imports jumped by 9.3% to ?256.4 billion. Energy exports surged 47.7% annually, while energy imports increased by 27.7%.
