Italy’s trade surplus with non‑EU countries strengthened in September 2026, with the trade balance rising to €2.83 billion, up from €2.00 billion in August 2026.
The latest data, updated on 29 October 2026, indicate an improvement of €0.83 billion in Italy’s non‑EU trade position month-on-month. This widening surplus suggests that exports to markets outside the European Union continued to outpace imports at a faster rate than in the previous month.
While detailed component data were not provided, the stronger non‑EU balance in September is likely to be viewed positively by markets, as it can support Italy’s overall external position and may help cushion the economy against domestic or regional slowdowns within the EU bloc.
