Exports rose 24.5% year-on-year to $9.06 billion, with growth broad-based across all major categories.

Industrial manufactures also advanced 31.4%, supported mainly by chemicals and related products, as well as base metals and metal products. Exports of fuels and energy climbed 31.1%, as higher international prices more than offset lower shipment volumes.
