In June 2025, the Czech Republic experienced a reduction in its trade surplus, which decreased to CZK 26.3 billion compared to CZK 30.5 billion in the same month of the previous year, as the growth in exports was outpaced by that of imports. Notably, this was the highest trade surplus recorded since March. Exports saw a 7.4% rise, reaching CZK 416.1 billion, largely due to substantial increases in sales of machinery transport equipment, which climbed by 11.2%, and commodities not otherwise classified, which surged by 20.0%. On the import side, there was a more rapid expansion of 9.2% year-on-year, totaling CZK 389.8 billion. This increase was primarily driven by notable purchases of food and live animals, which increased by 11.2%, beverages and tobacco, which soared by 18.5%, and mineral fuels and lubricants, which rose by 12.3%. Over the first half of the year, the trade surplus amounted to CZK 138.3 billion, with exports growing by 4.4% and imports by 5.4%.
