Imports surged 9.0 percent from last year, much faster than the 2.0 percent growth in the previous month.

The main commodities imported were transport equipment, electrical equipment, and agricultural products and food preparations, the agency said. The largest imports were registered from Latvia, Finland and Germany.

During the year 2024, exports declined 4.0 percent compared with 2023, and imports dropped by 2.0 percent. As a result, the trade deficit of the country rose to EUR 3.3 billion from 3.03 billion a year ago.
