FX.co ★ Czech Republic Trade Surplus Widens

In October 2025, the Czech Republic's trade surplus grew to CZK 26 billion, up from CZK 11 billion in October of the previous year. This expansion came as exports saw a smaller decline compared to imports. Specifically, exports decreased by 1.7% year-on-year, reaching CZK 422.4 billion, primarily due to a 2.2% downturn in the sales of machinery and transport equipment. On the import side, there was a more significant reduction of 5.3%, totaling CZK 396.4 billion, largely influenced by an 8.3% drop in the purchase of machinery and transport equipment. Over the period from January to October, the trade balance posted a surplus of CZK 195.6 billion, which is slightly above the surplus of CZK 191.5 billion recorded during the same timeframe the previous year; exports increased by 2.9%, while imports went up by 3.0%.
