Trade Balance in Bulgaria

Bulgaria - Trade Balance (Euros)
Annual growth in Q1 2022 likely slowed from Q4’s rebound: Inflation spikes through January–March probably dampened private spending and fixed investment. Looking at monthly data, though industrial production and retail sales fared well year-on-year through January–February, in sequential terms both indictors lost steam over the same period. In Q2, high inflation and weak economic sentiment will be dragging on growth, despite a robust labor market and the removal of all pandemic-related restrictions on 1 April. Moreover, on 27 April, Russia halted gas deliveries to Bulgaria. While Bulgarian authorities had already decided to stop importing Russian gas by end-2022, in the short-term Russia’s politically charged move will not only drive inflation up and weaken output in gas-reliant industries, but will also threaten the already-fragile governing coalition.Bulgaria - Trade Balance (EUR) Data
