140 YEARS OF FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS OF BULGARIA
Sonya Zlatanova
Abstract: 2020 marks the 140th anniversary of the establishment of the statistical institution in our country, as well as the creation of foreign trade statistics.
Foreign trade is entirely related to customs operations, both in terms of imports and exports, which is why the basis of foreign trade statistics are the documents of customs offices.
Foreign trade statistics is a valuable source of information on the volumes and scales of trade operations in different historical periods. Consumers can follow the dynamics of imports, exports, transit and antreposit for the period, make comparisons in the classifications and values of goods, as well as establish their place of origin and destination.
The collection ‘Statistics of Foreign Trade of Bulgaria’ contains over 52 000 digital pages and provides an opportunity to track the development of Bulgaria's foreign trade, as well as changes and improvements in the methods and technologies of collecting, processing and presenting statistical information over 140 years history of Bulgarian state statistics.
