Considering January to June of 2025, exports fell by 2.2% compared to the same period a year earlier to EUR 282.3 million, weighed down by lower sales of manufactured goods classified by material (-45.7%), beverages and tobacco (-23.5%), machinery and transport equipment (-30.1%), animal oils and fats (-9.3%), and miscellaneous manufactured articles (-3.8%). Meanwhile, imports rose by 7.0% to EUR 2,078.3 million, primarily driven by increased purchases of beverages and tobacco (14.1%), miscellaneous manufactured articles (11%), and chemicals (7.8%). By country, America remains in the top 10 export partners of Montenegro amid the ongoing US tariff tensions.
