Fédération de Russie Balance Commerciale

Russia recorded a trade surplus of $13.6 billion in September of 2025, widening from the $11.9 billion surplus in the corresponding period of the previous year, and the widest in over one year as Russia's weakening economy drove imports to contract more than exports. Imports sank by 7.2% annually to $25 billion, as weaker Russian consumers and business pared their demand for foreign goods, despite the stronger ruble. In the meantime, exports contracted by 4.1% to $38.1 billion. Lower oil prices and softer commodity demand from Russia's key trading partner, China, pared buying from Russia's key industries that are shunned from commerce with the West.
