Latest data released by Eurostat - 15 Dec 2017
- Prior EUR 25.0bn; revised to EUR 24.5bn
- Non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) trade balance EUR 18.9bn
- Prior NSA EUR 26.4bn
Exports fall 2.4% m/m, meanwhile imports rose 0.6% m/m according to Eurostat. On a y/y basis, exports rose 8.8% while imports increased by 10.1%.
A little miss on the trade balance numbers, but as I mentioned in the calendar preview here, this tends to have a muted impact because France and Germany has already released their data earlier.
