Notes:

Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.

Figures on exports and imports of goods and services are compiled based on the change of ownership principle in recording goods sent abroad for processing and merchanting under the standards stipulated in the System of National Accounts 2008. The figures of exports and imports of goods in this table are different from those published in external merchandise trade statistics, which are not compiled based on the change of ownership principle.
