摘要:During 2003, external trade turnover was USD 1,502 million, of which exports were USD 444 million
and imports USD 1,057 million. The trade deficit of USD 614 million was about USD 231 million more
than in 2002. Trade balance/GDP ratio increased from 11.6 in 2002 to 15.6 in 2003. Imports increased
by 45 per cent in USD terms reflecting needs for imported goods for construction of BTC, mainly tubes
and pipes. 28 per cent export growth was a result of 8.6 per cent GDP growth and partially a result of
some improvement in export registration procedures. The export coverage of import ratio decreased in
2003 to 42 per cent, from 47.6 per cent in 2002.
