According to the first estimate of the Central Statistical Office (KSH) released on Monday, in January the value of exports in euro increased by 6.4 percent and imports by 9.7 percent compared to the same period of the previous year, while the foreign trade surplus decreased by 225 million euros to 382 million euros.
