On the other hand, foreign sales of finished products tumbled 10.7%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the daily average of imports in the month\u2019s third week was of USD 618.8 million, down 14.5% in comparison to the daily average seen until the second week, a result attributed to a decline in purchases of fuels and lubricants, organic and inorganic fertilizers, motor vehicles and parts, mechanical equipment and electronics.<\/p>\n
