Summary

The majority of enterprises traded goods with only one country: 69.7% of exporters and 86.9% of importers. However, enterprises with a wider variety of markets (enterprises with partners in at least 20 countries) concentrated a significant proportion of transactions: 43.8% in exports and 26.6% in imports. Compared to 2010, the degree of exposure of enterprises to export markets reduced and increased to the supply markets.
