The Czech Republic’s trade surplus narrowed sharply to CZK 6.8 billion in April 2026, down from CZK 18.3 billion in the same month a year earlier. Imports climbed 8.9% year-on-year to CZK 427.3 billion, largely driven by higher purchases of mineral fuels and lubricants (up 24.6%) and chemical and related products (up 14.4%).

Exports rose 5.7% to CZK 434.1 billion. Growth in crude materials (5.9%), mineral fuels and lubricants (7.1%), and machinery and transport equipment (6.0%) helped offset declines in animal and vegetable oils (-10.2%), food and live animals (-1.8%), and beverages and tobacco (-0.6%).

Over the January–April period, the trade balance posted a surplus of CZK 77.3 billion, down from CZK 94.7 billion in the same period of the previous year. During this time, exports increased 3.4%, while imports rose 4.8%.
