Paraguay’s trade deficit widened to USD 281.6 mln in February, up from USD 160.6 mln in the same month last year. Exports fell by 6.4% YoY to USD 944.1 mln, primarily due to significant drops in primary goods shipments. Meanwhile, imports increased by 2.5% to USD 1,225 mln, driven by higher consumer goods imports, while imports of intermediate goods declined by 7%.
