Bulgarian exports continue to grow and in 2022 reached 50.25 billion US dollars, or 21% more in comparison to 2021, according to an analysis by the Bulgarian Industrial Association. Bulgaria climbed to 57th place in the world in terms of exports from 59th place a year earlier. It retains 20th place in the EU. For 5 years, exports have grown by an average of 11% annually. This means that Bulgaria continues to gain positions on world markets.

Bulgaria has a positive trade balance in 7 out of 10 leading export markets, including Germany, Italy, France, Belgium. The biggest negative balance is with Russia, China, Turkey and the Netherlands. Raw materials and energy carriers make up 1/3 of exports, but the export of electrical equipment, electronics, machines and devices is also on the rise.
