Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the size and structure of global trade in services and their share in Poland’s balance of payments. Particular attention was paid to export and import of transport services. The main purpose of the paper was to prove the importance of transport services in Polish foreign trade. Statistical data on Polish and world trade were analysed to achieve this goal. In addition, descriptive methods (analysis of literature) as well as general research methods and principles of scientific reasoning were used. The conducted research allowed to state that both in world trade and in Polish foreign trade the share of services increases, while the share of services in the Polish foreign trade turnover is by a few percent lower than the world average.
