Bulgarian exports increase, but trade balance still negative
Bulgarian exports to non-EU countries increased year-on-year in the first quarter of 2015, and also increased to EU countries in the first two months of the year, but in both cases the country still had a negative trade balance, going by preliminary figures released by the National Statistical Institute (NSI) on May 11.
In the period January – March 2015, Bulgarian exports to third countries increased by 14.3 per cent compared to the corresponding period of 2014 and amounted to 3.9 billion leva.
Among non-EU countries, Bulgaria’s main trading partners were Turkey, China, Serbia, the United States, Singapore and Russia which accounted for 51.7 per cent of exports to non-EU countries.
