France trade deficit expansion

Overview

In July, France experienced a widening trade deficit of 6.7 billion euros, marking a monthly increase of 900 million euros. This shift was primarily driven by a 1.1 billion euro rise in imports, particularly within the transport equipment sector, including automotive and aerospace products.

While exports grew by 200 million euros—supported by increased electricity deliveries due to heatwave-related demand—the automotive industry's trade deficit alone grew by 400 million euros, contributing significantly to the overall deficit expansion.
