Abstract: According to the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries should consider achieving all of the three dimensions of sustainable development, namely, economic, social and environmental. In this context, the external trade is acknowledged as a „mean of implementation” for the achievement of the SDGs, facilitating countries progress towards the achievement of sustainable development. However, evaluation of its contribution to sustainable development is a challenge. This paper intend to explore contribution of external trade of Romania to several key objectives of the 2030 Agenda, trying to capture, through specific or proxy statistical indicators, some trade-related aspects of the goals, as for example relationship tradeeconomic growth, evolution of trade exchanges by countries in different development stages, agro-food products trade, trade by technologies and trade with environment goods. When relevant, comparisons with other EU Member States and territorial decomposition by Romania’s counties or regions are presented to highlight aspects related to reducing inequalities.
