São Paulo – The Brazilian trade balance registered a surplus of US$ 1.195 billion in July’s third week, after recording a US$ 174 million deficit in the previous week. Exports fetched US$ 4.667 billion, and imports, US$ 3.472 billion. The data was released this Monday (20th) by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC).<\/p>\n

The exports’ daily average, from July 13th to 17th, stood at US$ 933.4 million, an amount 23.4% higher than the average registered up to the second week of the month. External sales of semi-finished products increased 81%, driven by raw sugar, wood pulp, semi-finished iron and steel products and ferro-alloy. <\/p>\n

Exports of finished products increased 21.2%, driven by sales of auto, flat-rolled products, iron or steel pipe fittings, orange juice and plastic polymers. External sales of basic goods had a 13.8% increase, particularly soybean grains, soybean meal, beef and maize grains. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, imports showed a drop of 0.6% in the daily average, with US$ 694.4 million. The decline is due to slower purchases of organic and inorganic chemical products and compost and fertilizers. <\/p>\n

In July’s total, exports added up to US$ 10.717 billion, and imports, US$ 9.060 billion. Year-to-date, Brazil has external sales of US$ 105.046 billion and purchases abroad of US$ 101.168, with a surplus of US$ 3.878 billion. <\/p>\n

In the comparison to July 2014, external sales in this year’s July declined 17.6%, while imports dropped 25.3%. <\/p>\n
