The euro area trade surplus increased in December from the previous month on higher exports, Eurostat reported Thursday.

The trade surplus rose to a seasonally adjusted EUR 23.8 billion in December from EUR 22 billion in the previous month. The expected level was EUR 22.3 billion.

Exports grew 1.7 percent from November and imports gained 0.9 percent in December.

On a yearly basis, exports climbed 1 percent annually and imports advanced 2.5 percent.
