Exports to Mainland China and several other Asian markets recorded notable increases, while shipments to the United States rose marginally and those to the European Union declined. Meanwhile, imports grew by 15.8% to $450.5 billion, mainly due to higher purchases of electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances, and electrical parts thereof (16.8%), and office machines and automatic data processing machines (67.1%). For the first four months of 2025, the cumulative trade deficit stood at $96.9 billion, with exports up 11.9% and imports rising 11.4% compared to the same period last year.
