The report by the statistical office showed that unadjusted imports decreased by 6% year on year to 140.3 billion EUR in January, while exports remained unchanged from 148.2 billion EUR. The trade surplus in foreign trade in the Eurozone reached 7.9 billion EUR in expected level of over 15 billion EUR.

Thus, the deficit of the EU in energy trade fell by 36.8% to 20 billion EUR. The data showed that the trade deficit between the EU and China increased by 35.8% to 18.6 billion EUR, while the deficit of the 28-nation bloc with Russia – the largest energy supplier to the continent almost halved to 5.4 billion EUR.
