Romania’s trade balance showed a modest improvement in September 2026, with the deficit easing to -3.080 million euros, compared with -3.138 million euros in August 2026. The latest figures, updated on 9 November 2026, indicate a slight narrowing of the external gap.
While the deficit remains significant, the month-on-month move suggests a marginally better balance between exports and imports heading into the autumn period. Markets and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming releases closely to gauge whether this mild improvement in September signals the start of a more sustained adjustment in Romania’s external position.
