This book presents a comprehensive statistical overview of foreign trade data within the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) for the years 1982-1984. It aims to provide a detailed and accessible compilation of trade figures for researchers and policymakers interested in the economic interactions of Eastern Bloc countries during this period. The data is presented in a tabular format, allowing for direct comparison and analysis of trade flows between member nations and with other countries.

This volume is a specialized statistical reference work, likely valued by economists, historians, and political scientists focusing on the Soviet bloc and international trade during the late Cold War. Its utility lies in the direct presentation of raw data, offering a foundational resource for academic research and policy analysis. The compilation by the Vienna Institute for Comparative Economic Studies suggests a rigorous and data-driven approach to understanding Comecon's economic relationships.
