Abstract:
The article examines Bulgaria’s comparative advantages in the international trade in textile products during the 2001–2017 period. We have used the Balassa (RCA), Vollrath (RTA), and Lafay (LFI) indexes in the analysis. These generally show the country’s comparative advantages in apparel exports and the comparative disadvantages in textile products characterised by a lesser degree of processing. The index quantities provide important insight into the state and place occupied in the global market by Bulgarian textile produce.
Keywords:
