Външнотърговски отношения на България с държавите в Африка

The importance of African countries, especially those south of the Sahara for Bulgaria is determined by the growing role of the region in global politics and economy, its huge economic potential and richness of natural resources. The paper analyzes the dynamics and commodity structure of foreign trade relations of Bulgaria for the 2003-2013 period with countries in Africa as a whole, while particular attention is paid to those of them who are involved in the negotiations for economic partnership agreements with the EU. Some recommendations are made on the possible priority actions for the future development of these relations.
