  Foreign trade of Communist Czechoslovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The foreign trade enterprises successfully carried out the government's policy of rapidly redirecting the bulk of the country's foreign trade from noncommunist countries to communist countries in the period from 1948 to 1953.
By the 1960s, it became clear that the country's dependence on foreign trade was substantial and that a restructuring of the economy was necessary.
During the late 1970s, the terms of trade continued to worsen; greater and greater quantities of exports were required to purchase the same volume of imports.
