On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, the deficit widened by 46.61%, compared to $1.66bn in November 2024.

Exports remained relatively stable at $2.84bn in December 2024.
Cumulatively, in the first six months of the fiscal year 2024-25, the trade deficit remained largely unchanged, with a meagre increase of 0.18%, rising to $11.17bn compared to $11.15bn in 6MFY24.
