KSH: February’s imports grew faster than exports

In February the value of export in euros increased by 5.4, while the value of import in euros increased by 7.1 percent, compared to the previous year. The trade surplus decreased by 57 million euros to 911 million euros – the Central Statistical Office (KSH) announced its first estimate on Friday.

Export surplus was exceptionally high last February. Since then it was higher in just three months.

The evolution of turnover in February this year was influenced by the fact that due to the leap day last year there was one fewer working days this February – the Central Statistical Office (KSH) added. (MTI)
