Meanwhile, imports from China increased US$ 33.35 billion to US$ 144 billion, compared to the previous year.
The decline in exports coupled with a sharp rise in imports resulted in a widened trade deficit with China.

The decrease in export turnover while imports increased sharply caused the trade deficit with China to widen compared to before.
