2024年8月，意大利贸易顺差为14.31亿欧元，远低于市场预期的55.5亿欧元，创下15个月新低，低于去年同期19.51亿欧元的顺差。进口额比上年下降5.7%，至377.14亿欧元，主要原因是原油（-30.1%）和焦炭及成品油（-28.5%）的购买量大幅下降，油价放缓。此外，运输车辆（-14.9%）、电气设备（-7.6%）以及计算机、电子和光学设备（-6.7%）的进口也有所减少。与此同时，由于运输车辆（-35.4%）、焦炭和精炼石油产品（-32.7%）以及纺织品、服装、皮革和配饰（-8.3%）的销售额下降，出口额暴跌6.7%，至391.45亿欧元。

Italy posted a trade surplus of EUR 1.431 billion in August of 2024, significantly below market expectations of EUR 5.55 billion to reach a new 15-month low, and down from a surplus of EUR 1.951 billion in the same period of the previous year. Imports fell by 5.7% from the previous year to EUR 37.714 billion, primarily driven by strong declines in purchases of crude oil (-30.1%) and coke and refined petroleum products (-28.5%), as oil prices moderated. Moreover, there were also reductions in imports of transport vehicles (-14.9%), electrical equipment (-7.6%), and computers, electronic and optical devices (-6.7%). At the same time, exports tumbled by 6.7% to EUR 39.145 billion, due to lower sales of transport vehicles (-35.4%), coke and refined petroleum products (-32.7%), and textile products, clothing, leather, and accessories (-8.3%).
