PKS official Bojan Stanić said goods exports rose by about 9% and goods imports by around 5%. In his assessment, the difference helped narrow the goods trade deficit. Services exports increased by approximately 7% over the same period.

Chamber representatives also said that around 20,000 of Serbia’s approximately 130,000 companies export goods or services. Conference participants discussed increasing the value added by Serbian products, accessing new markets and improving business competitiveness.
