Abstract

The paper presents the findings of a study on the contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to the Bulgarian export. The study compares the structures of the exporting companies from Bulgaria with the companies in other EU member states. The preferences of the companies for trade in the EU and with third countries are also taken into account. The picture of the internationalization of the Bulgarian enterprises is supplemented by an analysis of the structure of the exporting companies by economic sectors. The study contains also estimates of the amount of the value added in the export realized by different categories of companies.
