The trade deficit stood at €264 million, €5 million higher than in February 2024.Commenting on the results, Evelin Puura, foreign trade statistics team lead at Statistics Estonia, pointed out that Estonia’s exports were significantly affected by re-exports of previously imported goods, a category which rose by 30 percent year on year.

“The rise in re-exports was mainly due to transport equipment,” Puura added.Exports of goods of Estonian origin grew by 4 percent compared with February last year, accounting for 65 percent of total exports.

The increase was mainly due to a rise in exports of processed fuels and shale oil as well as measuring instruments.
