3 3 1.0 TOTAL TRADE Merchandise trade as presented in this section refers to imports, domestic exports, re-exports and trade balance. Discussions for Trade are based on data for the current month, March Data Revision Table A presents revised data from October 2017 to February 2018, comparing figures as at February 2018 digest and the current situation. The current data revision for October 2017 to February 2018 is mainly associated with transactions related to late tax assessment. Though transactions can be lodged with customs, related duties paid accordingly, further assessment is undertaken to ensure that the duties paid are correct for the imported commodities. These assessments will include any other assessment or examination of goods found necessary by customs. After all the necessary assessments have been completed, the goods are cleared and records of associated transactions released to Statistics Botswana for compilation of IMTS. As compilation of IMTS is based on the date that goods crossed the border and not the date of final assessment, data for records with late assessment will then update trade for the month during which transactions were initially lodged with customs. Date of lodgement of transactions is used as a proxy for the date of crossing the border as per guidelines in IMTS It has been observed that transactions for October 2017 to February 2018 had late assessments which were finalised in March 2018, hence the need to show data revision for the affected months.

During March 2018, total imports were valued at P4, million showing an increase of 1.3 percent (P65.5 million) from the February 2018 revised value of P4, million. This slight increase was mainly attributed to an increase in imports of Diamonds, Fuel and Salt Ores & Related. Diamonds had the highest increase between the two months, having increased by 7.5 percent (P119.3 million) from P1, million recorded during February 2018 to P1, million in March Fuel increased by 12.4 percent (P69.1 million) from P559.0 million to P628.2 million while Salt Ores & Related increased by 37.9 percent (P12.7 million) from P33.6 million to P46.3 million during the period under review. Imports value for March 2018, compared to that of the same month in 2017 shows a decrease of 5.8 percent (P302.6 million), from P5, million recorded during March 2017 to P4, million recorded during March This decrease was mainly attributed to imports of Fuel which recorded a decrease of 22.3 percent (P180.0 million) from P808.1 million during March 2017 to P628.2 million in March Machinery & Electrical also recorded a decrease of 15.4 percent (P109.3 million) from P708.8 million during March 2017 to P599.5 million in the current period.

4 4 1.3 Exports During March 2018, total exports were valued at P4, million, showing an increase of 37.5 percent (P1, million) from February 2018 revised value of P3, million. The increase was mainly due to Diamonds, having recorded the highest increase of 46.7 percent (P1, million) from P2, million in February 2018 to P4, million during the current period (Table 2.2). Comparison of total exports value for March 2018 and March 2017 shows an increase of 15.8 percent (P658.5 million) from P4, million to P4, million. The increase was mainly due to Diamonds and Salt & Soda Ash. Diamonds recorded the highest increase of 15.2 percent (P580.5 million) from P3, million in March 2017 to P4, million in March Salt & Soda Ash recorded an increase of 59.7 percent (P21.4 million) from P35.8 million in March 2017 to P57.2 million in March 2018 (Table 2.2). 1.4 Trade Balance Botswana recorded a trade deficit of P135.7 million in March Chart 1.1: International Merchandise Trade - January 2015 to March 2018 (Million Pula) 2.0 TRADE BY PRINCIPAL COMMODITIES Principal commodity groups refer to selections of related commodities grouped together to form major groups. Commodities forming a group may be of related chapters, for example; Machinery & Electrical which combines machines and electrical appliances; Vehicles & Transport which combines vehicles and other equipment used for transport purposes. In some cases it becomes a challenge to come up with further groups of related chapters or commodities. This occurs when commodity groups contributions to the total remain minimal. In such cases, the commodities are grouped together under the general category called Other. 2.1 Principal Imports Imports by Principal Commodity Groups together with associated percentage distributions, appear in Table 2.1, covering January 2015 to March Percentage distributions are however only shown for totals for 2016, 2017 as well as February 2018 and March Chart 2.1 gives graphical presentation of Principal Import Commodity Groups for March 2018.

5 During March 2018, composition of imports by principal commodities shows that Diamonds contributed the most to total imports (P4, million), with 34.6 percent (P1, million), followed by Fuel; Machinery & Electrical and Food, Beverages & Tobacco with 12.7 percent (P628.2 million), 12.1 percent (P599.5 million) and 11.8 percent (P584.8 million) respectively. Percentage distributions for other commodity groups during March 2018 can be viewed on Table 2.1 and Chart 2.1 Chart 2.1: Principal Imports Composition March 2018 Note: Other Goods include all Other Goods not specified as in Table Principal Exports exports for March 2018, were valued at P4, million, with 91.2 percent (P4, million) attributed to exports of Diamonds.

8 8 4.0 Imports and Exports by Mode of Transport The mode of transport here refers to the means of transporting goods in and out of the country. The main modes of transport for Botswana international merchandise trade are Road, Air and Rail. Statistics relating to mode of transport is presented in Table B. During March 2018, over half of total imports, 52.3 percent, were mainly transported by road. Air and Rail transport accounted for 34.2 percent (P1, million) and 13.5 percent (P668.0 million) respectively, of total imports during the same month. Botswana Exports mainly use Air as means of transport when considering the value of exported commodities. This is because the value of exports is highly influenced by the value of diamonds, which are transported by Air. Air Transport accounted for 93.3 percent (P4, million) of total exports out of Botswana during March Road transport accounted for 6.0 percent (P290.6 million) of total exports during the month under review (Table B).

19 6.0 TECHNICAL NOTES IMTS are compiled by the International Merchandise Trade Statistics Section of Statistics Botswana. International Merchandise Trade refers to external trade in goods only. International Service Trade Statistics (ISTS) are however not compiled by this section. The primary source of international merchandise trade data is the Customs & Excise Division at the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS). The Customs & Excise Division is responsible for data capture for both computerized and manual borders, and the monthly raw data files are transferred to Statistics Botswana for data processing. Until the April 2009 Monthly Digest, Botswana was practicing Relaxed Special Trade Type. The Relaxed Special Trade Type takes into account goods that are exported or imported for inward or outward customs processing while the Strict Special Trade Type does not include the same. Strict Special Trade Type comprises imports for home consumption, permanent exports, re-exports and goods cleared out of warehouse (exwarehouse) only. In June 2009, the Botswana External Trade Database was revised to cater for General Trade Type as per the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) recommendations. The General Trade Type gives complete coverage of external trade as compared to the Special Trade Type. As a result of this, trade reported in the monthly digests for May 2009 onwards is based on the General Trade Type. Imports are valued CIF (cost, insurance & freight) while exports are valued FOB (free on board). The value of imports includes transport and insurance costs to the importing country. The Exports value consists only of the value of goods as they leave the exporting country. 6.1 Time of Recording of Trade IMTS is compiled using date of recording of trade as opposed to date of assessment of goods by customs. This means that as goods cross the border, trade is recorded and this is the reference month for compilation of IMTS. Some of these goods may however be held by customs for some time pending final assessment for tax or duty purposes. 19 If the final assessment is done later, for example two or three months, or even more, after the goods had crossed the border, the affected trade will then update trade for the particular month when the goods crossed the border, therefore it does not form part of trade for the month during which the final assessment was done. This is mostly common with imports. Revision of data for the month preceding the one under review will normally show high values as compared to revisions for other months due to more goods (from the previous month) being released after final assessment. 6.2 Concepts and Definitions Domestic Exports: These are goods originating from the compiling country, being permanently exported out of the country for consumption in the outside world. This includes products from customs inwards processing; for example, if a country imports wheat, processes the wheat into bread flour and exports the bread flour and bye products from the milling process, these will all leave the country as domestic exports. Re - Exports: These are exports of foreign goods that were initially recorded as imports into the compiling country. These goods are exported in the same state that they came in except for wear and tear. An example will be re-exportation of a motor vehicle that was initially imported into the compiling country and after being used it is now being exported to a foreign country. exports: This is the sum of domestic exports and re-exports Imports: These are goods imported from the outside world, into the compiling country, for local consumption. This includes re-importation of locally produced goods that were initially exported and are now being imported back into the country. Trade Balance (Net Export): This refers to the total value of goods exported minus the total value of goods imported by a given economy in a given period of time. A positive trade balance (trade surplus) indicates that a country is exporting more in value terms than it is importing. A negative trade balance (trade deficit) indicates that the country is importing more than it is exporting.
