The Spanish foreign sector recorded a 0.4% year-on-year increase in exports and a 3.5% year-on-year increase in imports, as shown by data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Enterprise’s Monthly Foreign Trade Report, prepared by the State Secretariat for Trade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the report, published this Tuesday, merchandise exports for February 2025 reached 31,973.1 million euros, increasing by 0.4%, the second highest value in the series for the month of February. In seasonally adjusted and calendar-adjusted terms, exports increased by 0.7% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Regarding international comparisons, Spanish merchandise exports in February performed better than some of the major economies of the European Union, with declines in exports from Germany (-1.8%) and France (-4.3%).<\/p>\n

Outside the European Union, exports increased by 6.8% year-on-year. Exports to the United Kingdom increased by 18.7% year-on-year, those to the United States by 0.3%, and those to Japan by 11.4%. Meanwhile, exports to China increased by 3.4% year-on-year in the January-February period.<\/p>\n

Imports, meanwhile, reached \u20ac35,397.9 million, the second highest value in the series for the month of February, representing a 3.5% year-on-year growth. In seasonally adjusted and calendar-corrected terms, imports increased by 3.7% year-on-year.<\/p>\n
