In January, exports rose 2.8 percent in euro terms and imports grew 2.4 percent year-on-year. The surplus on the balance sheet increased by 49 million euros to 433 million euros, which is slightly different from the October and November figures after the December decline – the Central Statistical Office (KSH) said in a first estimate on Tuesday.
