Estonia’s trade deficit narrowed to EUR 270 million in December 2025 from EUR 413 million in the same month of the previous year, as exports rose faster than imports. Year-on-year, exports advanced by 16% to EUR 1,541 million, supported by higher shipments to EU countries (+17%) and non-EU countries (+14%). Among commodities, notable increases were seen in electrical equipment, agricultural products and food preparations, and wood and articles of wood. Meanwhile, imports grew 4% to EUR 1,811 million, driven by a surge in purchases from non-EU countries (+31%) despite a drop in EU countries (-1%). Increased arrivals were seen mostly in electrical equipment, agricultural products and food preparations, and transport equipment. For the full year of 2025, the country recorded a EUR 3,828 million trade shortfall, widening from a EUR 3,384 million gap in 2024.
