Latest data released by Eurostat - 15 February 2019
- Prior €15.1 billion; revised to €15.8 billion
- Non-seasonally adjusted trade balance €17.0 billion
- Prior €19.0 billion
Seasonally-adjusted exports decline by 0.1% on the month while imports held steady. I'd count that as a win for the region considering the poor exports demand seen in Germany over the past few months.
As for the region's trade to the US, 2018 saw a surplus €139.7 billion as opposed to the €119.6 billion surplus in 2017. Yup, Trump surely won't forget about that in the coming months as the US contemplates auto tariffs.
