Romania’s trade deficit in the 12 months to April contracted by 10.6% y/y to EUR 31.9 billion, according to data published by the statistics office INS. The deficit-to-GDP ratio reached 8.3%, subject to a slight downward adjustment after the Q2 GDP release, from 9.9% in April 2025.
On the downside, the trade balance improvement, however, occurred amid lower foreign trade activity measured as a ratio to total GDP, on both the export and import sides.
