Bulgaria's foreign trade deficit decreased by 40.5% in the first seven months of 2011 year-on-year, according to preliminary data of the National Statistical Institute.
Bulgaria's total exports (to both EU and non-EU countries) in January-July 2011 amounted to BGN 22.4 B, an increase of 36.9% compared with the same period of 2010.
At the same time, in the first seven months of 2011, Bulgaria imported goods and services worth BGN 24.8 B, an increase 21.8%.

In July 2011 alone, Bulgaria exported goods and services worth BGN 3.6 B, an increase of 21.1% year-on-year, while its imports amounted to BGN 3.7 B, an increase of 12.7% y/y.
