The numbers were made public this Tuesday (25) by the Brazilian Machinery Builders Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abimaq.org.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABIMAQ<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>ABIMAQ notes that the result was driven by the domestic market, which was up 12% in May.<\/p>\n<p>Year-to-date through May, the industry grew by 7.5%. \u201cIt is a robust growth, but we are looking at May last year, when we had the truckers\u2019 strike. We are also working with a very negative benchmark. To get an idea, from 2012 to 2015 the market dropped 50%. We are talking 7.5% over 50% less,\u201d said the association president Jo\u00e3o Carlos Marchesan.<\/p>\n<p>The industry\u2019s trade balance ran a negative balance of USD 812.3 million in May, down 38% from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Exports climbed 43.2% year-on-year, reaching USD 740.92 million. Imports grew by 40.5% from a year ago. ABIMAQ points out that the comparison with May last year shows a higher-than-expected growth since it\u2019s a comparison with a low month of last year, when the industry was impacted by the truckers\u2019 strike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-216503\">Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revenue from the capital goods industry reached USD 1.9 billion in the month.
