Vereinigtes Königreich von Großbritannien und Nordirland Handelsbilanzsaldo

The UK trade deficit narrowed to £1.09 billion in September 2025, down from a downwardly revised £1.28 billion in August, marking the smallest gap since January. Exports fell 0.9% mom to a three-month low of £77.21 billion, while imports shrank 1.1% to an eight-month low of £78.30 billion. Goods exports dropped 1.2%, weighed down by a 2.7% fall in shipments to the EU, primarily due to lower fuel exports, including reduced shipments of crude oil to Poland, Denmark, and Germany. Exports to non-EU countries fell 8.0%, largely driven by lower shipments of machinery and transport equipment, including cars, to China and the US. Exports of goods to the US, including precious metals, fell 11.4% in September, the lowest level since January 2022, mostly due to declines in commodities. Services exports also fell 0.7% to a five-month low of £45.99 billion. On the import side, goods imports dropped 2.0% to an eight-month low of £50.10 billion, while services imports rose 0.4% to £28.20 billion.
