The eurozone’s trade surplus in goods recorded a sharp increase in September 2025, as exports to the United States jumped following the implementation of a new transatlantic trade agreement that eased tensions after months of tariff-related disruption.
According to Eurostat data released on Friday, the euro area posted a trade surplus of €19.4 billion in September, up markedly from €1.9bn in August and well above the €12.9bn recorded in September 2024. The rebound was primarily fuelled by stronger US-bound shipments and a surge in the chemicals sector.
