Denmark’s foreign trade surplus remained unchanged in September from the previous month, figures from Statistics Denmark showed Monday.
The seasonally adjusted trade surplus, excluding ship and airplanes, held steady at DKK 4.8 billion.
Exports fell 2.6 percent month-over-month in September, reversing a 3.5 percent climb in August. Similarly, imports dropped 2.9 percent, in contrast to a 3.4 percent increase in the preceding month.
The decline in exports was partly caused by a 21.9 percent fall in shipments to Germany, due to a decrease in sales of wind turbine parts, the agency said.
Imports from Norway decreased the most by 20.8 percent in September. Arrivals from EU countries also went down by 9.3 percent.
On an annual basis, exports slid 0.5 percent in September, while imports grew by 2.8 percent.
In a separate report, the statistical office announced that the current account surplus of the country shrank to DKK 12.5 billion in September from DKK 13.3 billion in the previous month.
