In September 2025, the Czech Republic's trade surplus expanded to CZK 29.7 billion, a significant increase from the CZK 23.2 billion recorded in the same month the previous year, and surpassing market predictions of CZK 23.5 billion. There was a 3.7% year-on-year rise in exports, reaching CZK 420 billion, while imports increased by a milder 2.3% to CZK 390.3 billion. The trade balance benefited from larger surpluses in the motor vehicle sector, which grew by CZK 5.2 billion, and in the machinery and equipment sector, which saw an increase of CZK 1.4 billion. Additionally, the deficit in chemical substances and preparations diminished by CZK 1.5 billion. However, the overall balance was negatively influenced by trade activities in computers, electronic and optical equipment, metal products, and electricity. Over the first nine months of the year, the nation’s trade surplus was CZK 170.8 billion, down from CZK 180.6 billion in the same period last year, with exports rising by 3.4% and imports climbing by 3.9%.
