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 2016 reached Rs 84,456 million compared to total imports of Rs 165,423 million, resulting in a trade deficit (Exports minus Imports) of Rs 80,967 million. 3. Terms of trade (base year: 2013 = 100) The terms of trade index for 2016, which shows price changes of exports relative to those of imports (based on the Imports and Exports price indices base year 2013=100), increased by 6.5% to from in 2015 (Table 4). This was due to increases of 1.1% in export prices and decreases of 5.1% in import prices. Details of price changes for exports and imports are given in Tables 5 and 6.

7 4 4. Exports Around 38.9% of exports of goods (excluding Ship s Stores and Bunkers) in 2016 consisted of Miscellaneous manufactured articles and 35.3% of Food and live animals. The table below shows the main changes in total exports between 2015 and Commodity F.O.B Value (Rs Million) Change % Value Price Volume 1 Total Exports 2 93,290 84, of which: Exports of goods (excluding SSB) 85,890 78, Food and live animals 25,072 27, of which: Fish and fish preparations 13,475 14, Cane Sugar 7,662 8, Beverages & Tobacco Crude materials, inedible except fuels 2 1,163 1, Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials , Animal and vegetable oils, fats & waxes Chemicals & related products, n.e.s 3,302 3, Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material 9,011 7, Machinery & transport equipment 2 13,281 6, Miscellaneous manufactured articles 32,643 30, of which: Articles of apparel & clothing accessories 25,733 23, Commodities & transactions, n.e.s Ship's Stores and Bunkers (SSB) 2 7,400 6, 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 9.5% from Rs 93,290 million in 2015 to Rs 84,456 million in A nominal decrease of 21.5% was noted in Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material following a decrease of 24.4% in volume and an increase of 3.9% in prices. The value of exports of Miscellaneous manufactured articles decreased by 7.0%, due to an increase of 0.5% in prices and a decrease of 7.5% in volume. Within this SITC section, exports of Articles of apparel and clothing accessories decreased by 8.8% as a result of a price increase of 0.7% and a volume decrease of 9.4%. However, the value of exports of Food and live animals increased by 10.0% as a result of a volume increase of 8.3% following the combined effect of increases in the volume of Fish & fish preparations (+6.1%) and Sugar (+4.6%), partly offset by a decrease in price of Fish and fish preparations (-1.6%) and an increase in price of sugar by 6.3%. Export receipts of Chemicals & related products, n.e.s increased by 0.6% in nominal terms, resulting from a decrease of 6.0% in volume and a rise of 7.0% in prices (Table 14).

8 5 The European countries purchased Rs 37,292 million in 2016, representing 47.7% of our total exports excluding Ships stores and bunkers. Among countries, UK was the main buyer with Rs 9,382 million, or 12.0% of total exports, followed by France with Rs 8,943 million (11.4%). The other major markets were U.S.A (11.2%), South Africa (8.1%), Madagascar (7.3%), Italy (7.1%) and Spain (4.5%). Compared to 2015, total exports towards Italy, France and Madagascar increased by 17.2%, 10.6% and 1.5% respectively, while decreases were noted in exports to South Africa (-15.2%), UK (-12.3%), Spain (-8.6%) and USA (-3.9%). Table 15 shows further details. 5. Total Imports (including Freeport imports) In 2016, imports of Machinery and transport equipment (excluding aircraft, marine vessels and parts), Food and live animals and Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material represented 23.5%, 20.9% and 15.8% of total imports respectively. Total imports for the year 2016 attained Rs 165,423 million from Rs 168,023 million in 2015, less by 1.5%. This drop is mainly explained by a decrease of 13.1% in Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material due to a decrease of 18.8% in volume offset by an increase of 7.0% in price and a fall of 11.1% in imports of Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials due to decreases of 3.3% in prices and 8.1% in volume. Imports of Food and live animals rose by 6.2% as a result of an increase of 7.2% in prices and a drop of 1.0% in volume. Import value for Chemicals & related products, n.e.s increased by 2.9% due to a rise of 8.9% in volume, partly offset by a drop of 5.5% in prices.

9 6 Import value for Machinery and transport equipment (excluding aircraft, marine vessels and parts) decreased by 5.5% as a result of decreases of 1.1% in prices and 3.0% in volume.

11 8 (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.
