As a result of sanctions, the volume of exports from the Baltic States to Russia will drop about one-fifth in 2015, according to Bloomberg forecasts, cites LETA.

The amount of exported goods from the Baltic States to Russia will decrease18-25% this year, which will cost about EUR 690 million to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, Danske Bank forecasts.

 

Latvia's exports to Russia account to 6.3% of the total export volume, Lithuania's – 4.4%, and Estonia's – 5.5%.
