FX.co ★ Italy’s Trade Gap with EU Widens in September as Deficit More Than Doubles

Italy’s trade balance with European Union partners deteriorated in September 2026, with the deficit deepening to -0.78 billion euros, according to data updated on 13 November 2026. This marks a notable worsening from August 2026, when the trade balance with the EU stood at -0.33 billion euros.

The widening gap indicates that Italy’s imports from EU countries outpaced its exports more significantly in September than in the previous month. While no breakdown by sector or product was provided, the acceleration in the deficit underscores growing pressure on Italy’s external position within the European single market as the third quarter drew to a close.
