The European Union has had a growing trade balance with the United States since the turn of the millennium. While in 1999, the EU recorded a monthly trade balance with the U.S. as low as *** million euros a month, the monthly trade balance in the most recent period recorded was over ** billion euros. Both exports and imports have increased over this period, with a particularly notable uptick following the coronavirus pandemic.

The United States is the European Union's biggest trading partner as of 2023, with the total value of trade between the EU and the North American country exceeding ****billion dollars. China was the EU's second-largest trading partner, however, in contrast to the substantial trade surplus that the EU has with the United States, the EU has a large trade deficit with China. In 2022, the EU imported *** billion euros worth of goods from China than it exported to the East Asian country. Other prominent trade partners included the UK, Switzerland, and Turkey.

The European Union went from consistently running a trade surplus since 2012, to running a trade deficit worth almost 436.1 billion euros in 2022. This sudden surge in the bloc's deficit was largely caused by a more than doubling of the cost of fuel imports due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the EU's subsequent boycott of Russian energy exports. While in theory the EU's trade balance should only reflect its trade with countries outside of the union, as internal EU exports and imports should balance out, due to accounting irregularities the EU in practice runs a trade surplus with itself in most years. Following the substantial trade deficit opened up in 2022, the EU returned to running a trade surplus in 2023, when it recorded a surplus of almost 34.4 billion euros. In 2024, the EU is projected to run a trade surplus of approximately 146.2 billion euros.

The balance of trade of EU member states for intra-EU trade shows us which states are the exporters and which states are the importers throughout the union. Over the period since 2002, France has consistently been the country which runs the largest trade deficit (when imports are greater than exports) with the rest of the EU, while the Netherlands has consistently run the largest trade surplus (exports greater than imports). The two most significant shifts that have occurred over this period has been the transformation of Germany from an exporter to an importer (although this only applies within the EU) and the rise of Belgium, Poland, and Czechia as export powers.

The United Kingdom imports more services and goods from the European Union than exporting them. Although this has been the case since at least 1999, after 2011 the UK-EU trade balance has been more pronounced as the present statistic lays out. When it comes to the UK’s trade with non-EU countries, the picture is decidedly different. Since 2012, the value of UK exports to non-EU countries was higher than the imports, which resulted in a trade surplus. US biggest export market, but EU weighs heavier As of 2023, the UK’s largest export market was outside the European Union.
