Policy Dimension 2

Trade Policy

Trade policy in the Western Balkans is crucial for fostering economic growth, regional stability, and global market integration. Since 2013, goods exports between CEFTA parties have steadily risen, reaching EUR 8.4 billion in 2022. This trend towards regionalisation underscores the need for enhanced trade cooperation among WB economies. Recent improvements in trade facilitation are particularly important for the region's overall economic growth and strengthened regional trade ties.
