FX.co ★ Slovenia Trade Balance Shifts to Deficit

In April 2025, Slovenia experienced a trade deficit of EUR 446.5 million, a significant shift from the EUR 154.4 million surplus recorded in the same month of the previous year. This was the first deficit noted since December of the prior year, attributed to a decrease in exports and an increase in imports. On an annual basis, exports decreased by 2.4% to EUR 5,780.4 million, influenced by reduced shipments to both EU countries (-2.7%) and non-EU countries (-2.1%). In contrast, imports rose by 8% to EUR 6,226.8 million, with import activity from non-EU countries witnessing a substantial increase of 20.5%, even as imports from EU countries fell by 4.7%. From January to April, Slovenia managed to maintain a trade surplus of EUR 2,619.1 million.
