Slovakia's trade surplus fell to EUR 205.8 million in July 2024 from EUR 419.4 million in the corresponding month of the previous year, as imports rose more than exports. Year-on-year, exports increased 2% to EUR 8,182.8 million, driven by higher sales of products from metal processing, metallurgy, and rubber industry. However, the growth in total exports was partially offset by declines in sales of machinery and transport equipment, particularly motor vehicles. Exports to the EU and non-EU countries increased 1.5% and 3.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, imports grew 4.9% to EUR 7,977 million, led by imports of chemicals and allied products. Arrivals from the EU and non-EU countries rose 5.8% and 3.4%, respectively. For the January to July period, the country's trade surplus widened to EUR 3,031.4 million from EUR 2,963.1 million in the same period last year.
