Covid-19 crisis had an impact on Intrastat survey and a decrease of number of submitted declarations for February and March 2020 was registered mainly as consequence of the deferral to 30 June of the transmission deadlines envisaged by the “Cura Italia” Decree; on the contrary, the Extrastat survey didn’t record technical and organizational issues regarding data collection. The actions carried out to tackle the issues in Intrastat survey have made it possible to process and disseminate Italian regions export data of the first quarter 2020. These will be subject to revision when all Intrastat declarations relating to February and March 2020 will be available.

For information on the actions carried out to deal with the issues in Intrastat survey, please refer to the section ‘Covid-19 crisis and Intrastat survey’ in the Methodological note of Press Releases Foreign trade and import prices (02-2020) and Foreign trade and import prices (03-2020).
