It is worth noting that a decline in exports and an increase in imports widens the trade deficit, resulting in the devaluation of the domestic currency. It also negatively impacts the job market.
The exports grew by 12.55% to $263.35 during the months of April to October and the imports also grew by 33.12% to $436.81 billion.
