The value of Tunisia's trade balance deficit (the difference between the value of exports and imports) increased by 28.5 percent month-on-month in April.
According to the National Institute of Statistics in Tunisia (governmental), the trade balance deficit amounted to 2.272 billion dinars ($ 744.5 million). In March, the trade deficit was 1.768 billion dinars ($579.6 million).
The institute revealed that the coverage of exports of total imports declined in April by 5.5 percent to 68.4 percent, which means that exports are still less than imports, which explains the existence of a trade deficit.
