The value of exports amounted to EUR 10.4 billion and that of imports to EUR 10.5 bln.
The value of exports decreased by 7.8% and that of imports lessened by 8.6% in EUR terms compared to December 2022.
The balance turned negative on the import side as a result of the deteriorating energy balance; on the export side, the same trend was due to the annual and monthly decrease in the export of machinery products which previously generated a significant surplus, while machinery import did not change in merit compared to November and December last year, KSH notes.
The share of EU member states was 75% in exports and 66% in imports.
