Exports fetched US$ 4.408 billion, while imports amounted to US$ 3.432 billion. The net result is the best to date this year. The data was released this Monday (11th) by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade.<\/p>\n<p>Daily exports averaged US$ 881.6 million in the week, up 16.3% from the daily average in April. The performance was driven by stronger sales of semi-finished goods (23.3%), basic goods (23.2%) and finished goods (8.4%).<\/p>\n<p>The result is down 10.8% from May 2014, when exports averaged US$ 988.2 million a day, due to slower basic goods sales (-14.2%), especially soy bran, iron ore, coffee beans, beef and poultry and soybean. Finished goods exports were down 6.2%, primarily due to aircraft, pumps and compressors, motors and generators, oil fuel, autos and auto parts, aluminum oxides and hydroxides, and land leveling machinery. <\/p>\n<p>In the first week of May 2015, imports averaged US$ 686.4 million per day, down 6.4% from the average in April. Imports were also down 28.1% from May 2014, when the daily average was US$ 988.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Year-on-year in May, imports declined the most for fertilizers (56%), autos and auto parts (35.8%), mechanical equipment (31.4%), iron and steel (30.7%) and fuels and lubricants (29.8%).<\/p>\n<p>Year-to-date through the first week of May, exports from Brazil reached US$ 62.339 billion and imports to Brazil reached US$ 66.429 billion, resulting in a US$ 4.090 billion trade deficit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-178733\">Luiz Claudio Marigo\/Vale<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exports from Brazil grossed US$ 4.408 billion last week and imports amounted to US$ 3.432 billion, leading to a net positive result of US$ 976 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":178733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-50966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy"},"wps_subtitle":"Exports from Brazil grossed US$ 4.408 billion last week and imports amounted to US$ 3.432 billion, leading to a net positive result of US$ 976 million.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
