In this study, the relationship between exports, imports and economic growth for the period 2002: 01-2017: 12 has been analyzed. The stability of the variables, the unit root test without structural break (ADF, PP)and allowing structural breakdown (Lee-Strazcih)were analyzed by unit root test. It was looked causality relationship between variables Fourier Standard Granger tests. In the Fourier Standard Granger causality test, there was a two-way causality relationship between imports and economic growth.
