The size of the surplus was mainly influenced by the growth in exports of goods and services. Due to the growth in exports, which was 2.8 percentage points higher than the growth in imports, the balance of goods and services increased to EUR 2,936 million or 7.9% of GDP (previous year: EUR 2,016 million or 5.9% of GDP).
Ta je bila za 2,8 odstotne točke višja od rasti uvoza blaga in storitev, zato se je vrednost salda blaga in storitev glede na prejšnje leto povečala kar za 39,4% in znašala 2.936 milijonov EUR, to je 7,9% BDP (v letu 2013: 2.016 milijonov EUR ali 5,9% BDP).
