EU energy imports showed mixed signals in the first three quarters of 2025. Petroleum oil imports contracted notably—values dropped 18.3% and volumes fell 6.6% compared to 2024's monthly average. However, liquefied natural gas told a different story, with imported values surging 36.1% and volumes climbing 25.9% year-over-year. This divergence reflects shifting European energy strategy and price dynamics in global commodity markets.
