The deficit came as a result of exports worth US$ 203.7 billion and imports worth US$ 207.8 billion. In the comparable year-ago period, the trade balance posted a US$ 284 million deficit.<\/p>\n<p>The year-to-date deficit was a consequence of several weeks in which imports exceeded exports, last week included. The country grossed US$ 3.8 billion from foreign sales from November 17th to 23rd, averaging at US$ 767.6 million a day, down 2.8% from the preceding week. <\/p>\n<p>During the week, manufactured goods sales declined by 6.8% due to lower sales of automobiles, fuel oils, pumps and compressors, and auto parts and engines. Basic goods sales also dropped, by 0.9%, driven by oil, coffee bean, poultry, beef and pork. Semi-finished goods exports were up 9.7% due to iron and steel, wood pulp and raw aluminium. <\/p>\n<p>Imports amounted to US$ 4.5 billion last week and bilateral trade stood at US$ 8.3 billion.
