It marked the second straight month of growth in outbound shipments and the fastest pace since January 2024, boosted by higher sales to the EU countries (5.9%), namely to the Euro area (6.7%) and the non-Euro area (3.9%). In contrast, sales to third countries dropped by 0.5%, weighed by lower sales to the US (-3.5%), Russia (-19.9%), and the UK (-6.6%), but rising to China (1.4%). For the 2024 full year, exports fell 1.0% to EUR 1.6 trillion.
