What the Data Shows
Romania’s national-accounts net export balance was −6.0 percentage points of GDP in 2024. The measure subtracts imports equal to 41.6% of GDP from exports equal to 35.6%. Imports exceeded exports by 6.0% of GDP on this basis. This is not the same as the customs merchandise-trade balance or the current-account balance.
