Periskopi(an hour ago)
(an hour ago)Kosovo's Economic Oda has estimated that the latest data by the Kosovo Statistics Agency for Foreign Trade with Greece, Poland and Saudi Arabia reflect a mixed picture of the country's economic relations with these markets.
Improved trade balance with Greece is seen as a positive signal, driven by increased exports and reduced imports, while developments with Poland and Saudi Arabia show continuation of the high trade deficit, saysè Economic Oda.
According to the Kosovo Economic Chamber, this data underlines the need for more active export support policies and diversification of markets, especially in the direction of Poland and Middle Eastern countries.
Oda stressed that increasing local production competitiveness and strengthening economic diplomacy remain key to the long-term improvement of Kosovo's trade balance.

Kosovo Trade Statistics ʹ external trade of goods with Greece, Poland and Saudi Arabia (2025)
Kosovo Statistics Agency data (ASK) shows that during 2025, Kosovo's trade reports with these three markets have followed different dynamics from improving trade balance to expanding the deficit.
GREECE
Kosovo has marked improved trade balance with Greece. Trade deficit has been reduced to 269.5m euros, compared to 308.8m euros in 2024 (12.7%).
Exports towards Greece have increased significantly and reached 9.5m euros (+46.1%), while imports have dropped to 279.1m euros (-11.5%).
Import coverage from export has increased from 2.1% to 3.4%.
POLAND
Unlike Greece, trade exchanges with Poland have registered deepening the trade deficit. The deficit has risen to 269.2m euros, up from 205.7m euros a year ago (+30.9%).
Exports have remained low at 3.5m euros, while imports have reached 272.7m euros.
Export/import coverage remains only 1.3%.
SAUDIE ARABIA
Trade with Saudi Arabia has marked slight improvement in trade balance. The deficit has been reduced to 182.1m euros, down from 183.1m euros in 2024 (-0.6%).
Kosovo exports have remained almost unchanged at 1.5m euros, while imports have reached 183.6m euros.
Import coverage from export remains 0.8%.
What do these information indicate?
• Greece presents the most visible improvement of the trade report through increased exports and reduced imports.
• Poland remains a market with potential but with large trade gap in favour of imports.
• Saudi Arabia continues to be dominated by imports, showing room for expanding the presence of Kosovo products on Middle Eastern markets.
