Brasilien Handelsbilanzsaldo

Brazil's trade surplus narrowed by 30.4% to $7.48 billion in March 2024 compared to the same period last year, although it remained the highest so far this year. Export figures fell by 14.8% year-on-year to $27.98 billion, notably driven by a 20.8% decline in agricultural exports to $7.14 billion, a 23.9% fall in extractive industry sales totaling $6.42 billion, and a 6.2% decrease in manufacturing industry exports amounting to $14.24 billion. Similarly, imports decreased by 7.1% to $20.5 billion, primarily due to a 7.8% drop in purchases from manufacturing industries to $18.48 billion, a 2.1% decline in extractive industry imports to $1.4 billion, while purchases from agriculture increased by 10.4% to $0.47 billion.
