“Trade surplus in Mar narrowed significantly to USD2.9bn from USD5.5bn in Feb and USD4.5bn in previous year. Cumulatively in 1Q23, trade surplus recorded a growth of 31.3% y/y to USD12.3bn from the same period last year of USD9.3bn.”

“Oil and gas (OG) exports contracted by 4.8% y/y from 19.3% in Feb, following non-oil and gas (non-OG) exports which declined by double digits since its lowest level in 2020 due to lockdowns in most countries.”

“OG imports contracted by 13.7% y/y lower than previous month's contraction of 17.1%, while non-OG imports contracted by 4.9% in Mar, larger than Feb’s contraction at 1.6%, driven by decline in consumer goods and raw materials."
