In agosto 2026, exports from Italy surged by 16.1% compared to the previous year, outpacing non-EU countries, with significant growth driven by Switzerland, China, and the United States. The boost came particularly from exports of precious metals, with Switzerland leading at a remarkable 57% growth, likely due to gold bar shipments, mainly from the Arezzo district.
China and the US are also expected to continue their pharmaceutical exports trend. Overall, growth in the eight months since the beginning of the year reached 5.8%, primarily driven by intermediate goods, which include precious metals. Only the Middle East, Russia, and South America showed a decline in August 2026. Imports increased by 17.2%, with a notable rise in imports from India.
Exports were down by 2.1% in the trade balance with non-EU27 countries, while imports were nearly unchanged at -0.1%.
