External Trade – 4th Quarter 2012

External Trade – 4th Quarter 2012 1. Introduction

This issue of the Economic and Social Indicators presents external trade statistics for the fourth quarter of 2012, and for the years 2011 and 2012. These statistics are compiled from declarations lodged at Customs by importers and exporters. Some of these declarations are at times revised at a later period and corrections made accordingly on the computerised database of the Customs Department of the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) .

Thus while revised figures for 2011 are published in this indicator, those for 2012 are

subject to revision by mid July 2013 when the MRA submits latest yearly amendments to Statistics Mauritius.

Data on international trade are compiled as per the recommendations of the United

Nations General Trade System. According to this system, all goods entering and leaving the national frontier, including trading activities of the Freeport zone, should be accounted for.

It is to be noted that all exports of the Freeport are included in re-exports of Mauritius.

It is estimated that for the year 2012 some 16% of Freeport exports were sourced locally.

2. Total value of trade and trade balance

Total international trade for the fourth quarter of 2012 was valued at R 66,520 million. It is higher by 13.4% and 7.7% when compared to the previous quarter and to the corresponding quarter of 2011 respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, total exports were valued at R 21,772 million against imports of R 44,748 million. The trade deficit was R 22,976 million. For the year 2012, total exports amounted to R 80,359 million, 9.2% higher than in 2011 and imports amounted to R 160,982 million up by 8.9%. This resulted in a trade deficit of R 80,623 million, 8.6% higher than the 2011 deficit of R 74,229 million.

R 32,261 million rose by 22.4% compared to 2011. Imports of “Miscellaneous manufactured articles” valued at R 14,084 million

During the year 2012, imports from the Asian continent, the major supplier, amounted to R 90,490 million with a share of 56.2% of total imports. Imports originated mainly from the following countries: India (23.1%), China (16.1%), France (8.3%) and South Africa (6.5%) - (Table 13).

5. Trade with Regional Organisations – (Year 2012)

Total exports to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States during the year 2012 stood at R 13,802 million, against total imports of R 15,690 million (Table 14). Hence trade deficit with ACP countries worked out to R 1,888 million. During the year 2012, exports to COMESA countries attained R 6,496 million, while imports from these countries amounted to R 4,683 million. This results in a positive trade balance of R 1,813 million for Mauritius. Madagascar was the main buyer whilst Kenya was the main supplier with shares of 71.6% and 33.3% respectively (Table 15). Trade with SADC countries for the year 2012 showed a deficit of R 790 million, resulting from imports of a value of R 13,553 million and exports worth R 12,763 million. The main supplier was South Africa (77.7%), and the main buyers were South Africa (52.6%) and Madagascar (36.4%) - (Table 16).

6. Trade in Freeport Zone - (Year 2012) During the year 2012, total imports of the Freeport Zone stood at R 9,651 million,

11.3% higher than in 2011 (Table 12). The main items imported through the Freeport were “Machinery and transport equipment”, “Fish and fish preparations”, “Chemicals & related products” and “Beverages & Tobacco” .

Re-exports which were valued at R 7,687 million, rose by 19.6% compared to

2011. This is mainly attributable to a rise in the re-exports of “Fish and fish preparations” (Table 6).

7. Forecast 2013

Based on recent past trends and indicative information from various sources, total exports for the year 2013 are expected be of the order of R 87,000 million, against R 177,000 million for imports. Consequently, the trade deficit is expected to be around R 90,000 million.

Notes

(1) Coverage Trade figures are compiled according to the General Trade System as recommended by the United Nations. Using the national boundary as the statistical frontier, the General Trade System is a record of all goods entering (imports) and leaving the country (exports). - Imports include goods brought in directly for domestic consumption plus goods imported into customs bonded warehouses - Exports cover domestic exports and re-exports which include re-exports from customs bonded warehouses. Domestic exports are defined as goods of national origin. Re-exports are goods which are exported in the same condition as imported or after undergoing minor operations which leave them essentially unchanged. - Ships stores and bunkers are included in total exports and are shown separately. - Trade by parcel post is also included in imports and exports (2) Valuation Imports are valued on a C.I.F. (Cost, Insurance and Freight) basis whilst exports on a F.O.B. (Free On Board) basis. C.I.F. value is the value in the market at the Customs frontier of a country of her imports of merchandise, other goods, etc. including all charges for transporting and insuring the goods from the country of exports to the given country but excluding the cost of unloading from the ship, aircraft etc. unless it is borne by the carrier. F.O.B. value is the value in the market at the Customs frontier of a country of her exports of merchandise and other goods, including all costs of transporting the goods to the Customs frontier, export duties and the cost of loading the goods on to the carrier unless the latter cost is borne by the carrier. (3) Classification (i) Commodity Code Commodities are coded according to the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System Nomenclature (HS2012). However, for the purposes of economic analysis and to facilitate international comparison of trade by commodity data, the commodities are also classified according to the Standard International Trade Classification (Revision 4) or SITC Rev. 4. The HS and the SITC Rev. 4 are six and five digit codes respectively but have been extended to eight and seven digits to accommodate national requirements.
