Austria’s trade balance deteriorated significantly in December 2025, with the deficit deepening to -1,301.0 million euros, according to data updated on 9 March 2026. This marks a notable weakening from November 2025, when the trade gap stood at -352.0 million euros.
The sharp month-on-month widening of the deficit suggests a marked shift in Austria’s external trade position at the end of 2025, indicating that imports outpaced exports by a substantially greater margin than in the prior month. While the underlying drivers are not detailed in the latest release, the figures point to increased pressure on Austria’s external accounts heading into 2026.
