马耳他的贸易逆差从去年同期的3.642亿欧元扩大到2025年4月的4.013亿欧元。这标志着自去年8月以来最大的贸易逆差,进口增加,出口下降。进口同比增长1.4%,达到7.21亿欧元,主要原因是工业用品(14.3%)和燃料和润滑油(10.8%)的采购量增加。与此同时,出口下降7.7%,至两年低点3.197亿欧元,受资本货物和其他货物(-21.7%)、消费品(-12.9%)和工业用品(-6.4%)出货量下降的拖累。考虑到今年前四个月,该国的贸易逆差从去年同期的12.273亿欧元缩小到11.937亿欧元。
Malta’s trade deficit widened to EUR 401.3 million in April 2025 from EUR 364.2 million in the corresponding month of the previous year. This marked the largest trade shortfall since August last year, as imports rose while exports dropped. Year-on-year, imports advanced by 1.4% to EUR 721 million, mainly attributed to higher purchase of industrial supplies (14.3%) and fuels & lubricants (10.8%). Meanwhile, exports declined by 7.7% to a two-year low of EUR 319.7 million, dragged down by lower shipments of capital goods and others (-21.7%), consumer goods (-12.9%), and industrial supplies (-6.4%). Considering the first four months of the year, the country’s trade deficit narrowed to EUR 1,193.7 million from EUR 1,227.3 million in the same period a year earlier.
