Abstract: The article aims to analyze the changes in Bulgarian international trade for the 2004- 2019 period. Firstly, the general trends in dynamics of the country’s trade flows in terms of value and volume are summarized, which is followed by assessment of the economy’s dependence on international trade. The study then presents an analysis of the direction of Bulgarian trade and discusses the changes in the commodity structure of trade by analyzing the share of primary and manufactured products. The conclusion summarizes the main implications from the analysis and draws some recommendations regarding some possible measures in Bulgaria’s international trade policy.
