In November 2025, Luxembourg's trade deficit expanded to EUR 0.88 billion, compared to EUR 0.81 billion in the same month the previous year. This expansion was driven by a 2% year-on-year increase in imports, which totaled EUR 2.09 billion. The rise in imports was primarily due to heightened acquisitions of transportation equipment (up 7.2%), machinery and equipment (up 20.3%), and chemicals and chemical products (up 3.3%). The majority of imported goods originated from Japan and other countries across Asia, even though there were noticeable reductions in imports from Germany, Belgium, and France. Conversely, exports experienced a decline of 2.8% year-on-year, amounting to EUR 1.21 billion. This downturn was largely due to decreased sales in base metal manufactures (down 13.5%), machinery and equipment (down 9.8%), and chemicals and chemical products (down 1.9%). The most significant reductions in exports were to Germany and France, although there was an increase in shipments to Belgium.
