Ireland’s trade surplus narrowed sharply to EUR 4 billion in March 2026 from EUR 24.5 billion in the same month last year. Exports plunged 51.4% year-on-year to EUR 18.3 billion, weighed down by steep declines in medical and pharmaceutical products (-70%) and organic chemicals (-70.8%). However, a 439.1% surge in exports of petroleum and petroleum products partly offset these losses. The US (+24.7%), the Netherlands (+13.5%), and Great Britain (+10.7%) were the top export destinations. Meanwhile, imports rose 9.3% to EUR 14.3 billion, driven by higher purchases of petroleum and petroleum products (+5.6%). However, this increase was partly offset by declines in imports of medical and pharmaceutical products (-29.9%) and organic chemicals (-11.4%). Ireland’s largest suppliers were the US (+13.8%) and Great Britain (+9.8%). In the first three months of the year, the trade surplus totaled EUR 12.4 billion, significantly lower than the EUR 51.3 billion recorded in the same period last year.

The South African rand weakened toward 16.7 per USD, the lowest level since early May, pressured by a stronger dollar and falling prices of key precious metals, amid Middle East conflict risks. Oil prices rose, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively disrupted, and President Trump has intensified rhetoric on Iran as hopes for a swift resolution fade. Domestically, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has made clear it will not deviate from its 3% inflation target, despite a fresh global oil shock that risks pushing prices higher. The central bank is set to face a tough call at its end-May meeting as the inflation outlook is becoming more uncertain. Inflation ticked up to 3.1% in March from 3% in February, though April’s reading is expected to reflect higher fuel prices. The SARB is likely to skip a rate hike in May, while monitoring potential second-round effects. On the political front, President Cyril Ramaphosa faces renewed scrutiny through a parliamentary impeachment process.
