San Juan, Puerto Rico — August 21, 2025. The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute published foreign trade data for the month of June 2025, allowing for an analysis of performance in terms of international trade for fiscal year 2025, which covers July 2024 to June 2025. Annual exports totaled $60,652,028,821, representing a decrease of 7.23% compared to the previous fiscal year, while annual imports totaled $56,372,227,806, representing an increase of 4.64% compared to the same previous period. This results in a trade balance of $4,279,801,015, a figure that reflects a decrease of 62.8% compared to the $11,508,357,246 recorded in 2024 and constitutes the lowest value in the entire 2010-2025 series. The trade balance is the indicator that measures the difference between the value of exports and that of imports of goods from a jurisdiction. A surplus occurs when exports exceed imports; a deficit, when the opposite happens. This indicator constitutes one of the main measures of international trade, since it reflects both productive capacity and the level of dependence on foreign goods. In general terms, productive capacity refers to what Puerto Rico is able to produce and sell (reflected in exports), and the level of dependence on what Puerto Rico needs to buy abroad (is reflected in imports).
