2026.02.1909:00:00UTC+00Euro Zone Current Account Surplus Widens to €14.6B in December 2025

The Euro Zone’s current account surplus strengthened in December 2025, rising to €14.6 billion from a previously recorded €8.9 billion for the same month. The latest figures point to a notable improvement in the bloc’s external balance, suggesting firmer support from trade and income flows into the currency area.

The updated data, released on 19 February 2026, indicate that the Euro Zone managed to significantly increase its surplus over the prior reading for December 2025. While the detailed breakdown of the drivers behind the gain was not provided, the larger surplus typically reflects either stronger export performance, weaker import demand, improved investment income, or a combination of these factors.

Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases to determine whether this wider surplus marks the start of a sustained trend or a one-off improvement at the end of 2025, particularly in the context of global trade conditions and internal Euro Zone demand dynamics.
