Surplus in EU trade in goods for 6 quarters in a row: Eurostat

Brussels, February 22: In the final quarter of 2024, the EU exported more goods to non-EU countries than it imported, resulting in a trade surplus of Euro 27.2 billion, according to figures published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. This marked the sixth consecutive quarter of a positive trade balance, following a period of deficits driven by soaring energy costs from late 2021 to mid-2023.
