Eslováquia Balança Comercial

Slovakia’s trade surplus widened to EUR 504.8 million in November 2025 from EUR 319.5 million in the corresponding month of the previous year, surpassing market expectations of EUR 345 million. This marked the largest surplus since May, as exports fell less than imports. Year-on-year, exports declined by 1.3% to EUR 9,717.6 million, weighed down by significantly lower shipments of miscellaneous manufactured articles, which fell by more than 8%. Exports to the EU decreased by 2.4%, while shipments to non-EU countries rose by 2.5%. Meanwhile, imports dropped by 3.3% to EUR 9,212.8 million, largely due to a more than 22% drop in purchases of mineral fuels, lubricants, and related materials. Inbound shipments from both EU and non-EU countries fell by 3.3%. Over the January-November 2025 period, the country's trade surplus narrowed to EUR 3,081.8 million from EUR 3,408.7 million in the same period a year earlier.
