2026.06.1504:30:00UTC+00Dutch Trade Surplus Narrows to €7.96B in April 2026

The Netherlands’ trade surplus narrowed in April 2026, with the trade balance coming in at €7.96 billion, down from €10.74 billion in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 15 June 2026, point to a notable month-on-month weakening in the country’s external balance.

While the Netherlands remains in solid surplus territory, the decline suggests a relative shift in export and import dynamics compared with March. The €2.78 billion drop in the trade balance may reflect softer external demand, stronger import growth, or a combination of both, although the underlying drivers are not detailed in the current release.

The April data will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as an indicator of the momentum in Dutch external trade heading into the second quarter of 2026, following a stronger performance in March.
