RESULTS
Values of the country’s percentage export share in world export indicator are shown in
table 1 and figure 1. This indicator is one of the most commonly used indicators in the
analysis of competitiveness. Analysis of the table 1’ and figure 1’ data shows that in all
countries this ratio value is steadily increasing and this testifies about growing international
