Spain's export sector has shown resilience in the face of global trade tensions, including US tariffs and the conflict in the Middle East. Despite these challenges, Spanish exports reached a record high in June, growing 5.3% to €35.545 billion, and increasing 2% to €201.133 billion in the first six months of the year. The growth was driven by increases in raw materials, energy products, and equipment goods, which offset declines in the food and chemical sectors.
However, the country's trade deficit widened by 30.5% to €32.780 billion in the first half of the year, largely due to higher energy import costs.
