法国的贸易逆差从3月份向上修正的63亿欧元扩大到2025年4月的80亿欧元,超过了市场预期的60亿欧元缺口。这标志着自去年9月以来最大的贸易逆差,出口环比下降5.9%,至493亿欧元,受精炼石油产品和焦炭(-17.6%)以及运输设备(-17.4%)销售大幅下降的影响。大多数地区的出口都有所下降,包括欧盟(-3.2%)、非洲(-1.9%)、美洲(-5.3%)和亚洲(-5.4%),而对中东的出口则有所增加(+4%)。与此同时,进口以2.4%的较慢速度下降至572亿欧元,主要原因是天然碳氢化合物(-20.8%)和精炼石油产品和焦炭(-11.3%)的购买量减少。从地区来看,来自欧盟(-0.6%)、非洲(-10.8%)、中东(-1.3%)和亚洲(-4.1%)的进口下降,而来自美洲的进口上升(+1.9%)。
France’s trade deficit widened to €8 billion in April 2025 from an upwardly revised €6.3 billion in March, exceeding market expectations of a €6 billion gap. This marks the largest trade shortfall since last September, as exports dropped 5.9% month-over-month to €49.3 billion, weighed down by a sharp decline in sales of refined petroleum products and coke (-17.6%), as well as transport equipment (-17.4%). Exports fell across most regions, including the EU (-3.2%), Africa (-1.9%), the Americas (-5.3%), and Asia (-5.4%), while exports to the Middle East increased (+4%). Meanwhile, imports declined at a slower pace of 2.4% to €57.2 billion, due largely to reduced purchases of natural hydrocarbons (-20.8%) and refined petroleum products and coke (-11.3%). Regionally, imports fell from the EU (-0.6%), Africa (-10.8%), the Middle East (-1.3%), and Asia (-4.1%), while imports from the Americas rose (+1.9%).
