2 Preface This International Merchandise Trade Statistics (IMTS) Monthly Digest presents statistics on Botswana s total imports and exports of goods at the end of February This digest follows the January 2016 Digest published at the end of March Data is complete up to February Statistics Botswana receives new data on a monthly basis, and there is continuous data editing as various tables and reports are produced. The database is therefore updated from time to time. As a result of editing and revision of data, figures on previous Monthly Digests and those on the current Monthly Digest (for the corresponding months) may differ. Changes in data for corresponding months when comparing the current digest and the previous ones, may also be attributed to data from transactions which had deferred customs duty assessments. The data for these transactions will only become available at a later stage after customs duty assessments have been completed. This Monthly Digest presents summaries of Merchandise Trade from January 2012 to February 2016 as presented on Table 1. Trade by Principal Commodity groups is presented on Table 2.1 for imports and Table 2.2 for exports. Table 2.3 gives trade on diamonds only. Direction of trade is given for the recent twelve months and this appears on Tables 3.1A and 3.2A for imports and exports respectively. Tables 3.1B (imports) and Table 3.2B (total exports) present Principal Commodity groups by partner and region for February 2016 only. Five graphical presentations appear in this digest. Chart 1.1 shows imports, total exports and trade balance from January 2009 to February Charts 2.1 and 2.2 show Principal Commodity groups for imports and exports respectively, for February 2016 only. Charts 3.1 and 3.2 show imports and exports by major trading partners for the month under review. Tables 4.1; A & B present Statistics on commodities that were mostly imported for the months of January 2016 and February 2016 respectively, while exports are given on Tables 4.2; A & B for the same months. Trade at Chapter Level (2 digits of the Harmonized Commodity Description & Coding System) appears on Table 5, giving data for January 2016 and February Table 1 distinguishes domestic exports from re-exports while other tables show total exports only, which is the sum of the two (domestic exports and re-exports). For more information contact the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations at All Statistics Botswana outputs/publications are available on the website at and at the Statistics Botswana Library (Head-Office, Gaborone). We sincerely thank all stakeholders involved in the formulation of this monthly digest, for their continued support and feedback, as we strive to better serve Batswana and all other important users of our products and services.

3 1.0 TOTAL TRADE merchandise trade as presented in this section refers to imports, domestic exports, re-exports and trade balance. 1.1 Data Revision Table A presents revised data for November and December 2015 as well as January Imports for January 2016 increased by 0.8 percent (P32.9 million), mainly because of data from transactions that had deferred customs duty assessment. Exports for December 2015 and January 2016 show slight increases of 0.1 percent (P4.3 million) and 0.4 percent (P25.0 million) respectively, when comparing figures from the January 2016 and February 2016 digests, which could be as a result of corrections of errors and omissions. Table A: Data Revision; November 2015 to January 2016 (Million PULA) As at January 2016 Digest As at February 2016 Digest Difference Differences as % Month Imports (CIF) Exports Trade Balance Imports (CIF) Exports Trade Balance Imports (CIF) Exports Trade Balance Imports (CIF) Exports Trade Balance November , ,341.6 (3,054.3) 5, ,341.6 (3,056.8) (2.5) (0.0) December , ,269.3 (1,129.6) 6, ,273.6 (1,126.0) January , , , , , , (7.9) (0.5) ( ) Denotes negative numbers Discussions on Sub-Sections 1.2 to 1.4 are based on Table Imports Discussions on imports are based on cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value and associated figures are presented on Table 1. February 2016 total imports were valued at P5, million, showing an increase of 47.7 percent (P1, million) from the January 2016 revised value of P3, million. This is attributable to the high value of diamond imports for aggregation, during February 2016 as compared to imports of the same commodity during January Comparison of February 2016 import figure to February 2015 import value shows a decrease of 12.7 percent (P854.9 million), from P6, million recorded during February 2015 to P5, million recorded during the reference month. The decrease in import value in this case is mainly due to the low value of diamond imports for aggregation when comparing the two months. 1.3 Exports In February 2016, total exports were valued at P6, million, showing a decline of 8.6 percent (P604.2 million) from the January 2016 revised value of P7, million. The decline was as a result of less export of rough diamonds during the current period. exports for February 2016 show a rise of 20.9 percent (P1, million) from the February 2015 value of P5, million. 1.4 Trade Balance February 2016 shows a trade surplus of P549.3 million.

4 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 Equipment which combines machines and electrical appliances; Vehicles & Transport Equipment which combines vehicles and other equipment used for transport purposes. In some cases it becomes challenging to come up with further groups of related chapters or commodities. This occurs when commodity groupings 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 on Table 2.1, covering January 2012 to February Percentage distributions are however only shown for totals of the years 2014 and 2015, as well as for January and February Chart 2.1 gives graphical presentation of Principal Import Commodity groups for February 2016 only. Composition of imports by principal commodities for February 2016 shows that Diamonds contributed the most to total imports (P5, million), with 41.5 percent (P2, million), followed by Machinery & Electrical Equipment with 11.0 percent (P645.9 million); Food Beverages & Tobacco with 9.9 percent (P581.2 million), Fuel with 9.4 percent (P547.7 million) and Chemical & Rubber with 7.9 percent (P461.8 million). Percentage distributions for February 2016 for other commodity groups can be seen on Table 2.1. Chart 2.1: Principal Imports Composition February 2016 Note: Other Goods include all Other Goods not specified as in Table Principal Exports February 2016 total exports were valued at P6, million, with 85.2 percent (P5, million) attributed to exports of Diamonds. These exports consist of diamonds from diamond polishing companies as well as those from the aggregation process. Copper Nickel, Machinery & Electrical Equipment and Meat & Meat contributed 6.6 percent (P420.0 million), 2.5 percent (P162.1 million) and 1.3 percent (P81.7 million) respectively, to total exports during the month under review. Percentage distributions for major export groups can be observed on Table 2.2, while Chart 2.2 gives graphical presentation for February 2016 only. exports discussed here are the sum of domestic exports and reexports. 3
