6 Overview of External Merchandise Trade Year Introduction Data on external merchandise 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. 2. Balance of visible trade Total exports (including Ship s Stores and Bunkers) for the year 2015 reached Rs 93,290 million compared to total imports of Rs 168,023 million, resulting in a trade deficit (Exports minus Imports) of Rs 74,733 million.

This was due to increases of 1.1% in export prices and decreases of 10.9% in import prices. Details of price changes for exports and imports are given in Tables 5 and 6.

7 4 4. Exports Around 38.0% of exports of goods (excluding Ship s Stores and Bunkers) in 2015 consisted of Miscellaneous manufactured articles and 29.2% of Food and live animals. The table below shows the main changes in total exports between 2014 and Commodity F.O.B Value (Rs Million) Change % Value Price Volume 1 Total Exports 2 94,776 93, of which: Exports of goods (excluding SSB) 81,176 85, Food and live animals 24,984 25, of which: Fish and fish preparations 13,934 13, Cane Sugar 7,717 7, Beverages & Tobacco Crude materials, inedible except fuels 2 1,079 1, Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials Animal and vegetable oils, fats & waxes Chemicals & related products, n.e.s 3,053 3, Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material 8,498 9, Machinery & transport equipment 2 11,586 13, Miscellaneous manufactured articles 30,635 32, of which: Articles of apparel & clothing accessories 24,647 25, Commodities & transactions, n.e.s Ship's Stores and Bunkers (SSB) 2 13,600 7, Volume change has been derived as the ratio of value to price change 2 Not covered by the Exports Price Index, therefore price and volume change not available Total exports (including Ship s Stores and Bunkers) were down by 1.6% from Rs 94,776 million in 2014 to Rs 93,290 million in Export receipts of Chemicals & related products, n.e.s increased by 8.2% in nominal terms, resulting from rises of 5.5% in volume and 2.5% in prices (Table 14). A nominal increase of 6.0% was noted in Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material following increases of 4.5% in volume and 1.5% in prices. The value of exports of Miscellaneous manufactured articles increased by 6.6%, due to an increase of 9.1% in prices and a decrease of 2.3% in volume. Within this SITC section, exports of Articles of apparel and clothing accessories increased by 4.4% as a result of a price increase of 9.8% and a volume decrease of 4.9%. The value of exports of Food and live animals increased by 0.4% as a result of a volume increase of 8.1% following the combined effect of increases in the volume of Fish & fish preparations (+5.6%) and Sugar (+10.1%), partly offset by decreases in prices by 8.4% and 9.8% respectively.

Among countries, United Arab Emirates was the main buyer with Rs 10,745 million, or 12.5% of total exports, followed by UK with Rs 10,696 million (12.4%). The other major markets were U.S.A (10.6%), France (9.4%), South Africa (8.7%), Madagascar (6.5%), Italy (5.5%) and Spain (4.5%).

Table 15 shows further details. 5. Total Imports (including Freeport imports) In 2015, imports of Machinery and transport equipment (excluding aircraft, marine vessels and parts), Food and live animals and Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material represented 24.1%, 19.3% and 17.9% of total imports respectively. Total imports for the year 2015 attained Rs 168,023 million from Rs 172,038 million in 2014, less by 2.3%. This drop is mainly explained by a decrease in imports of Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials (-23.0%) due to a fall of 30.4% in prices and a rise of 10.7% in volume. Imports of Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material rose by 8.8% as a result of an increase of 9.2% in prices and a drop 0.4% in volume. Import value for Food and live animals increased by 3.6% due to a rise of 7.6% in volume, partly offset by a drop of 3.7% in prices. Import value for Machinery and transport equipment (excluding aircraft, marine vessels and parts) increased by 2.8% as a result of 1.2% increase in prices and a volume decrease of 3.2%.

11 8 Notes (1) Scope and coverage External merchandise trade statistics 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 defined as goods of national origin, that is goods produced in the exporting country. Re-exports which are exported in the same condition as imported or after undergoing minor operations which leave them essentially unchanged and include re-exports from customs bonded warehouses. Ship s Stores and Bunkers (SSB) are included in total exports and are shown separately. Trade by parcel post is also included in imports and exports. (2) Sources and collection of data Collection of trade data is on an accrual basis that is at the time the declaration is lodged at the Customs Department of the Mauritius Revenue Authority and at other sources, namely: The State Trading Corporation, the Air Mauritius and the Mauritius Sugar Authority. Data are collected electronically on a monthly basis and revised on a quarterly and annual basis. (3) 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. Cost, Insurance and Freight (C.I.F) value is the value of a country's imports of goods, 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 unless it is borne by the carrier. Free on Board (F.O.B) value is the value of a country's exports of goods, including all costs of transporting the goods to the customs frontier, export duties.

12 9 (4) Concepts and definitions Balance of visible trade is the difference between the value of exports and imports of goods of a country. A positive value indicates a trade surplus while a negative value indicates a trade deficit. Freeport zone is a duty-free commercial zone providing logistics and warehousing facilities for shipment, consolidation, storage and minor processing of goods. Export Price Index (EPI) is an overall measure of pure price changes of goods exported to other countries. Import Price Index (IPI) is an overall measure of pure price changes of goods purchased from other countries. The terms of trade index measures the price movements of exports relative to imports. It is the ratio of export price index to import price index. A rise in this ratio indicates that the real purchasing power of exports has increased whilst a decrease indicates a drop in the purchasing power. Ship s Stores and Bunkers (SSB) comprise fuel, food and beverages and other items supplied to foreign marine vessels and aircrafts. (5) Classification of commodities 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) (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. (6) Symbols used - Nil or negligible -.- Not applicable... Not available (7) Note of caution Totals may not tally due to rounding.
