Vereinigtes Königreich von Großbritannien und Nordirland Handelsbilanzsaldo

The UK trade deficit widened to £5.01 billion in June 2025, up from a downwardly revised £4.55 billion in May, marking the largest deficit since February. Exports fell 2.6% mom to a six-month low of £74.76 billion, while imports shrank 1.9% to a five-month low of £79.78 billion. Goods exports dropped 6.3%, weighed down by a 3.0% drop in shipments to the EU—primarily due to a fall in aircraft exports to Germany. Exports to non-EU countries fell 9.6%, largely driven by a reduction in machinery and transport equipment exports, particularly lower car shipments to the US. Exports of goods to the US, including precious metals, fell by £0.7 billion in June to the lowest level since February 2022. Services exports edged down 0.2% to £46.03 billion. On the import side, goods imports fell 3.5% to a five-month low of £50.89 billion, mainly due to reduced imports of office machinery from the Netherlands and cars from Germany. Meanwhile, services imports rose by 1.0% to £28.88 billion in June.
