Reflecting the resilience of the external sector, the monthly current account has remained in surplus since January 2025.
The merchandise trade deficit widened in April 2025 compared to both April 2024 and March 2025. This was as a result of merchandise imports growing at a higher pace (17.5 %, y-o-y), mainly driven by imports of motor vehicles (US dollars 134 million), compared to the growth in merchandise exports (10.4 %, y-o-y).
