Italy’s trade surplus with non‑EU countries inched higher in March 2026, signaling a slight strengthening in the country’s external position outside the European Union.
According to the latest data updated on 29 April 2026, Italy’s Non‑EU Trade Balance rose to €5.64 billion in March, up from €5.53 billion recorded in February 2026. The marginal increase suggests that exports to non‑EU markets continued to outpace imports, reinforcing a positive, if moderate, trend in Italy’s extra‑EU trade performance.
While detailed breakdowns by sector or region were not provided, the improvement in the March surplus underlines the ongoing importance of non‑EU partners in supporting Italy’s overall trade balance and external accounts. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this upward movement consolidates in the coming months.
