INTRODUCTION

This Statistical Report of Formal External Trade in Goods covers the third quarter of 2016, the period

running from July to September. It is produced by the External Trade Division of the Economic

Statistics Department of the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR).

The Economic Statistics Department is mandated to compile, analyze and produce statistics and

information on external trade. The data compiled by the Division is provided by the Rwanda Revenue

Authority (RRA), Customs Department and then processed by NISR using EUROTRACE DBMS and

MS Access software.

To collect and compile formal external trade statistics, NISR relies on the General Trade System

under which the recorded aggregates include all goods entering or leaving the economic territory of a

country with the exception of simple transit trade.

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 and the nationalized goods.

Re-exports which are exported in the same conditions as imported or after undergoing minor

operations which leave them essentially unchanged and include re-exports from customs bonded

warehouses.

Partner country is the last known country of destination for exports and the country of origin for

imports. This definition applies to all products with the exception of exports of coffee and tea, where

the first known destination ports such as Mombasa and Dar Es Salaam are considered.

Valuation of imports and exports: Imports are valued on a CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) basis

while exports are valued on a FoB (Free on Board) basis.

Classification of commodities: The data is categorized by partner Country and the international

standard classifications such as the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS)

and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), all linked to the national Customs

Procedure Codes (CPCs).

Furthermore, the compilation of External Trade Statistics abides by the recommendations of the

International Merchandise Trade Statistics: Concepts and Definitions 2010 (IMTS 2010) of the

United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). Hence, the data for this report are compiled on

IMTS basis.


1. Rwanda’s Formal External Trade in Goods

This section provides an overview of Rwanda’s total trade in goods covering the period from 2014 to

the third quarter of 2016, on a quarterly basis.

In the third quarter of 2016, Rwanda’s total trade in goods amounted to US$ 603.44 million, a

decrease of 5.92 per cent from US$ 641.44 million in the same quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 3.69

per cent from US$ 626.53 million in the preceding quarter of 2016 (second quarter).

Figure 1 summarizes the balance of Rwanda’s trade in goods. Year-over-year, the deficit on traded

goods decreased considerably by 14.19 per cent, from the same period in 2015.

Total imports of goods constitute 72.81 per cent of total trade in goods (US$ 439.39 million), while

domestic exports constituted 18.65 per cent (US$ 112.54 million) and re-exports constituted 8.54 per

cent (US$ 51.52 million). For more detailed figures, see Appendix 6.1.

2. Domestic Exports

Compared to the second quarter of 2016, the third quarter of 2016 has seen an increase in values of

domestic exports of 22.01 per cent, with total domestic exports amounting to US$ 112.54 million.

Year-over-year, domestic exports’ values decreased by 1.49 per cent compared to the same quarter of

2015 (see Figure 1). This decrease in total exports’ values is largely explained by reductions in the

values of main mineral commodities like “Niobium, vanadium ores, tantalum and concentrates” and

“Tungsten ores and concentrates”, which decreased by 31.80 per cent and 22.19 per cent

respectively.

2.1. Exports by Commodity

In the third quarter of 2016, the five most exported commodities accounted for 67.87 per cent of total

domestic exports’ values (see appendix 6.2a)

Compared to the previous quarter, exports of “Other unwrought gold (incl. gold plated with platinum),

non-monetary” with an estimated value of US$ 27.43 million remained in the first place; “Coffee not

roasted, not decaffeinated” with an estimated value of US$ 22.41 million replaced “Other black tea

(fermented) and other partly fermented tea” in the second place. “Niobium, vanadium ores, tantalum

and concentrates” remained with the third place with US$ 10.74 million followed by “Tin Ores and

Concentrates” valued at US$ 8.45 million and “Other black tea (fermented) and other partly

fermented tea” with US$ 7.35 million.

share), Kenya (US$ 14.48 million, 12.87 per cent share), the Democratic Republic of Congo (US$

12.13 million, 10.78 per cent share) and Singapore (US$ 6.08 million, 5.40 per cent share). Together,

these five countries account for US$ 77.46 million or 68.83 per cent share of total value of domestic

exports in the third quarter of 2016. Figure 2 summarizes these figures year-to-date (from the

beginning of 2015 up to the third quarter of 2016). For the top twenty domestic exports partners see

appendix 6.5a

Main exports to the United Arab Emirates include “Other unwrought gold (incl. gold plated with

platinum), non-monetary”, and “Unwrought lead (excl. refined and containing antimony)”. To

Switzerland and Kenya1 “Coffee, not roasted, not decaffeinated” and “Other black tea (fermented) and

other partly fermented tea” while for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) predominantly

received “wheat/meslin flour” and finally Singapore received “Tin Ores and Concentrates”.

quarter of 2015, but increased by 4.23 per cent when compared to the second quarter of 2016.

On the re-exports side, Rwanda registered revenues estimated at US$ 49.57 million during the third

quarter of 2016 from COMESA Member States; an increase of 19.41 per cent in value terms against

the same quarter of 2015 (US$ 41.51 million) and also an increase of 16.25 per cent when compared
