Bras\u00edlia \u2013 Last week, Brazilian exports reached US$ 5.084 billion, resulting in a daily average of US$ 1.017 billion during the period. The figure is 11.3% higher than in the preceding week. Imports reached US$ 4.981 billion, a 5.4% increase using the same basis of comparison. The different between exports and imports was a US$ 103 million surplus from April 16 to 22.<\/p>\n
The figures issued this Monday (23rd) by the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade show that the export performance improved last week mostly due to a 2.8% increase in sales of basic goods, and a 7.6% increase in sales of semi-manufactured goods. Exports of manufactured goods dropped by 6.3%.<\/p>\n
In spite of the surplus seen last week, the trade balance for April still shows a deficit of US$ 177 million, as a result of poor export performance in the first two weeks of the month. From April 1 to 22, exports reached US$ 13.310 billion and imports reached US$ 13.487 billion.<\/p>\n
