Slovakia’s trade balance markedly improved in February 2026, shifting from a deficit to a solid surplus, according to the latest data updated on 9 April 2026. The country’s trade balance moved from a shortfall of -33.1 million in January 2026 to a surplus of 321.6 million in February 2026.
The turnaround signals a sharp month-on-month improvement in Slovakia’s external position. While the underlying drivers of the change are not detailed in the released figures, the move from negative to positive territory suggests a significant adjustment in the balance between exports and imports over the period. Investors and analysts will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this positive trade momentum can be sustained in the coming months.
