Abstract

The data on external commerce in Kosovo indicates a significant trade deficit within our nation. Exports have significantly contributed to the economic performance of regional economies, particularly in small, developing countries like Kosovo. International trade, including both imports and exports, plays a crucial role in influencing the GDP and overall economic growth of such nations.

This article will discuss the significance of trade, export, and import deficits in fostering economic growth, analyze export patterns and features, examine Kosovo's trading partners, and explore the trade links between European countries and the area.

Kosovo possesses a burgeoning and vibrant economy. Kosovo's economy has been integrated into the economic framework of this region, presenting the potential to broaden market reach across a vast geographical expanse. The primary objective is to enhance the competitiveness of the economy by bolstering its export potential, thereby mitigating the existing trade imbalance in Kosovo. This paper also examines the impact of promoting exports on economic development, specifically in terms of job creation and overall economic growth. Additionally, it focuses on the graphical and statistical aspects of Kosovo's exports and GDP. The final section of the paper analyzes a simple linear regression model that uses the least squares method to estimate the influence of exports on economic growth
