In the month up until last Sunday, the surplus is at US$ 2.095 billion and, in the year, US$ 6.703 billion, according to data released this Monday (24th) by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC).<\/p>\n<p>According to the MDIC, exports in the third week overcame shipments of the second week in 4.9%, with a daily average of US$ 764.4 million. Imports increased 6.1% over the second week of the month to a daily average of US$ 624.6 million. In total, US$ 3.822 billion were exported in the third week, with US$ 3.126 of imports in the same period. <\/p>\n<p>In the month, however, both shipments and imports are in decline. Until the third week of August, Brazil exported US$ 740.3 million per day on average, 24% less than the daily average of US$ 974.4 million registered in August 2014. According to data from the MDIC, exports of finished products declined 26.9% in this comparison, due to a lower number of shipments of fuel oils, refined sugar, oxides and hydroxide of aluminum, cargo vehicles, medicines and pneumatics. <\/p>\n<p>Shipments of semi-finished products declined 13.2% mainly because of the lower number of shipments of raw sugar, hides and skins, semi-finished gold and ferro-alloys. Among basic goods, exports dropped 23.7% due, mainly, to a decline in the sales of soybean meal, raw cotton, iron ore, maize grains, leaf tobacco, copper ore, beef, pork, poultry and coffee grains.<\/p>\n<p>Imports also declined. In all, US$ 600.6 million were imported on a daily average until the third week. This number is 34.7% below the average of August 2014. According to data from the ministry, spending with imports of fuel and lubricants dropped 75.5%, followed by a drop of 46.7% in imports of organic and inorganic fertilizers, of 33.6% in steel products; of 31.4% in rubber and by-products; of 29.2% in chemical products and of 28.3% among electronics. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by S&eacute;rgio Kakitani<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-181067\">Press Release\/Rio Grande port<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the third week of August, exports overcame imports in US$ 699 million.
