Energy Adds to Trade Woes
The euro area recorded a €10.3 billion trade deficit in goods in September 2026, after posting a surplus of €13.5 billion a year earlier. Imports rose 16.1% to €283 billion, while exports increased 6% to €272.7 billion. Eurostat attributed the decline to a wider energy deficit, which reached €33 billion, and a smaller surplus in machinery and vehicles, which fell to €3 billion. The European Union also recorded a deficit of €16.8 billion. The cumulative deficit since the start of the year stood at €83.2 billion, compared with a surplus of €85.5 billion over the same period in 2025.
