Foreign trade ends in surplus

Czech foreign trade ended on an 18 billion crown surplus in March, with exports growing by 12.7 percent and imports by 15.8 percent, according to data published by the Czech Statistical Office. Although the March figure is 2.7 billion crowns lower year-on-year economic experts say it confirms a revival of economic activity. Exports have been growing for the fifth successive month and imports since January 2010.
