The figure reflects a modest shift in the country’s non-oil trade balance, with $25.9 billion in exports and $28.4 billion in imports.
The total weight of exported goods stood at nearly 75 million tonnes, while imports amounted to 18.8 million tonnes. Compared to the same period last year, non-oil exports rose by 6% in volume but showed a negligible change in value. Imports, meanwhile, increased by 2% in weight but fell by 15% in value, suggesting a pivot toward lower-cost or essential goods amid economic pressures.
