External Merchandise Trade Statistics – 4th

Quarter 2019 and Year 2019

1. Introduction

This issue of Economic and Social Indicator presents external merchandise trade statistics for the years 2018 and 2019. These statistics are compiled from declarations lodged at Customs Department by importers and exporters. Some of these declarations are at times revised at a later period and corrections made accordingly on the computerised database of the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) - Customs Department.

Thus, while revised figures for 2018 are published in this indicator, those for 2019 are

provisional and subject to revision as and when MRA - Customs Department submits latest

amendments to Statistics Mauritius.

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.

2. Total value of trade and trade balance

Total external merchandise trade for the fourth quarter of 2019 was valued at

Rs 72,243 million, i.e. 1.4% higher than the previous quarter and 5.1% lower compared to the

corresponding quarter of 2018.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, total exports (including ship’s stores & bunkers) were valued

at Rs 19,314 million against imports of Rs 52,929 million. This resulted in a trade deficit of

Rs 33,615 million, 6.7% higher than the deficit of Rs 31,494 million of the previous quarter

and 0.2% lower than the deficit of Rs 33,676 million of the corresponding quarter of 2018.

Total export proceeds for the year 2019 were valued at Rs 79,060 million representing a

decrease of 1.6% over the 2018 figure of Rs 80,339 million. Total imports, excluding one- off

items, for the year 2019 amounted to Rs 199,111 million, an increase of 3.5%, compared to

Rs 192,438 million in 2018. The trade deficit for the year 2019 works out to Rs 120,051

million, around 7.1% higher than the deficit of Rs 112,099 million for the year 2018.

3. Exports

3.1 Total exports (Tables 1 & 3) – 4th

Quarter 2019

Total export proceeds, including domestic exports1, re-exports

2 and ship’s stores and bunkers,

for the fourth quarter of 2019 amounted to Rs 19,314 million, showing a decrease of 2.9%

compared to the previous quarter. This is mainly explained by decreases in the exports of

“Ship’s stores and bunkers” (-25.8%), “Chemicals and related products, n.e.s.” (-8.1%),

“Miscellaneous manufactured articles” (-7.9%), “Machinery and transport equipment”

(-6.2%) and “Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material” (-3.8%), partly offset by an

increase in the exports “Food and live animals” (+16.3%).

Compared to the corresponding quarter of 2018, total exports for the fourth quarter of 2019

decreased by 9.0%. This is mainly explained by decreases in the exports of “Ship’s stores and

bunkers” (-17.1%), “Machinery and Equipment” (-19.6%), “Chemicals and related products,

n.e.s.” (-12.2%), “Miscellaneous manufactured articles” (-11.9%) and “Food and live

animals” (-10.8%), partly offset by an increase in the exports of “Manufactured goods

classified chiefly by material” (+12.6%).

Domestic exports amounting to Rs 13,008 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, accounted for

67.4% of total exports. Compared to a value of Rs 12,753 million recorded in the third

quarter of 2019, domestic exports rose by 2.0%. When compared to the corresponding quarter

of 2018, an increase of 2.0% was observed.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, re-exports stood at Rs 3,468 million, i.e. higher by 4.9%

compared to the previous quarter and lower by 31.2% compared to the corresponding quarter

of 2018 (Table 5).

3.2 Exports by SITC section (Tables 1 & 3) – Year 2019

Around 32.3% of total exports for the year 2019 consisted of “Miscellaneous manufactured

goods” (Rs 25,555 million), 29.7% of “Food and live animals” (Rs 23,454 million) and

12.1% of “Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material” (Rs 9,563 million).

Compared to the year of 2018, the main changes by section are as follows:

“Miscellaneous manufactured goods” registered a decrease of 5.7%, mainly explained

by a decrease in exports of “Articles of apparel & clothing accessories” (-6.7%).

“Food and live animals” decreased by 1.1%, due to a decrease of 10.2% in exports of

“Fish and fish preparations”.

“Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material” increased by 19.6% mainly due

to increases in the exports of “Textile yarns, fabrics, made-up articles” (+23.3%)” and

“Pearls, precious & semi-precious stones” (+19.4%).

1 Domestic exports are defined as goods of national origin 2 Re-exports are goods which are exported in the same condition as imported or after undergoing minor operations which leave them

essentially unchanged.

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) 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.

(3) Classification of commodities

Commodities are coded according to the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding

System Nomenclature (HS2017). 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.
