1982. Trade indexes available up to February suggest that
this growth was made up of an increase of 7% in prices and a
growth rate of 78 in real terms. The value of domestic
exports to Japan, at $714 million, was 13% higher than in the
first quarter of 1982. Since prices are estimated to have
risen by about 11%, this suggests that there was an increase
of 2% in real terms.
