Exports during this period decreased by 23.7% compared to last year. The main reduction is due to a 30.1% decrease in shipments of base metals and a 12% decrease in re-exports of land transport equipment.
Imports also declined by 5.2% to $8.1 billion, primarily due to a reduction in purchases of machinery and equipment.
Thus, the decline in the deficit is more likely to be related to a fall in imports and exports of certain commodity groups than to an improvement in the structure of foreign trade.
