The Netherlands' trade surplus increased in February 2026, with the trade balance rising to 9.90 billion euros, up from 9.55 billion euros in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 13 April 2026, points to a modest but notable improvement in the country's external position.

While detailed breakdowns of exports and imports were not provided, the February figures indicate sustained strength in the country’s trade performance as 2026 progresses.
