In June 2018 the value of exported goods was 5,900 million higher than in June 2017 or 13.1% at current exchange rate, mainly due to increased exports in industrial products.
The value of imported goods in June 2018 was 11,900 million higher than in the same month last year or 19.9% at current exchange rate. This difference is mostly due to imports of fuels and industrial supplies.
