Aexports of goods increased by 6.5% and imports increased by 3.6% in the third quarter, in nominal terms and compared to the same period, according to the rapid estimate released today by the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
If TTE transactions are excluded (transactions with a view to or following work by order, without transfer of ownership), the increases are more pronounced in both flows: 10.9% in exports and 7.4% in imports.
The INE notes that growth between July and September reflects a slowdown from the second quarter, in which there were homologous increases of 10.3% in exports (10.8% without TTE) and 8.7% in imports (12.6% when TTE excluded).
