Gli scambi delle nazioni della zona euro (Belgio, Germania, Grecia, Spagna, Francia, Irlanda, Italia, Lussemburgo, Olanda, Austria, Portogallo e Finlandia) con il resto del mondo nello scorso gennaio hanno registrato un deficit di 7,4 miliardi di euro, contro un deficit di 5 miliardi di euro nel gennaio 2000. Lo ha reso noto oggi Eurostat, annunciando anche che la revisione dei dati dello scorso dicembre indica un surplus di 0,2 miliardi di euro contro 3,2 miliardi di euro nel dicembre 1999.

Complessivamente i Paesi dell'euro nel 2000 (quando ancora non comprendevano la Grecia) hanno totalizzato un surplus di 12,6 miliardi di euro, rispetto ad un surplus di 51,2 miliardi di euro nel 1999.

Il bilancio invece degli scambi delle 15 nazioni membri dell'Unione Europea con il resto del mondo presenta nello scorso gennaio un deficit di 14,3 miliardi di euro (13,3 miliardi) e nello scorso dicembre un deficit di 6,5 miliardi di euro (-0,8 miliardi). Il deficit complessivo del 2000 ammonta a 84,1 miliardi di euro, contro un deficit di 19 miliardi di euro nel 1999. I maggiori incrementi nelle esportazioni sono avvenuti nei confronti di Turchia (+44%), Russia (+34%) e Cina (+31%), e nelle importazioni da Russia (+73%), Norvegia (+54%), Cina (+40%) e Polonia (+31%).
