When compared to the previous year, Italy's trade surplus in 2017 dropped to EUR 47 billion, down from a record high of EUR 50 billion. Imports increased by 9% to EUR 401 billion, the highest level since 2011, while exports increased by 7% to an all-time high of EUR 448 billion. The largest trade surpluses were recorded with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Poland, and Japan; the largest trade deficits were reported with China, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Russia.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the EUR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the EUR.
