Summary of the day May 4, 2018

stocks and shares

In Colombia, FOB exports reached USD $3.34 billion in March, slightly lower than our expectations and the market average (USD $3.35 billion). Thus, external sales registered a 1.4% increase compared to the same period last year. The export performance was mainly explained by the 13.1% growth in external sales of oil and crude oil products, which contributed 7.9 percentage points to total growth.

Meanwhile, exports to the US fell 17.3% year-on-year in March, while China increased its demand for Colombian products by 97.4%.
