Italy’s trade balance with European Union partners strengthened in June 2026, with the surplus rising to 1.58 billion euros, up from 0.85 billion euros in May 2026. The latest figures, updated on 11 August 2026, indicate a significant month-on-month improvement in Italy’s trade position within the EU.
The nearly doubled surplus suggests that, over the period, Italy either increased its exports to EU countries, reduced its imports from them, or saw a combination of both dynamics. While the data do not break down sectoral contributions, the headline figure points to a more favourable external balance with European partners as the second half of 2026 begins.
