The Czech Republic’s trade surplus narrowed to CZK 9.9 billion in May 2026 from CZK 10.9 billion in the same month a year earlier. Imports increased by 6.0% year-on-year to CZK 405.7 billion, supported mainly by higher purchases in forestry and logging (+13.1%), fishing products (+21.7%), tobacco products (+13.2%), coke and refined petroleum (+59.3%), and printing and reproduction services of printed media (+28.9%).

Exports rose by 5.6% to CZK 415.6 billion, driven by stronger sales of agricultural products (+22.9%), metal ores (+15.3%), chemicals (+16.4%), and other transport equipment (+23.4%). These gains were partly offset by declines in coal and lignite (-43.4%), tobacco products (-20.6%), and food products (-1.4%).

Over the January–May period, the trade surplus totaled CZK 87.7 billion, down from CZK 105.6 billion a year earlier, as import growth outpaced export growth, with imports up 5.0% and exports up 3.8%.
