Islandia Balanza Comercial
El déficit comercial de Islandia aumentó un 65% en comparación con el año anterior, alcanzando los 178.000 millones de coronas islandesas, un aumento significativo. Excluyendo el impacto de la fuerte caída de las ventas de productos marinos, las exportaciones del país cayeron un 4%, y el aumento del 8% de las importaciones fue impulsado principalmente por el aumento de las compras de suministros industriales, barcos y equipos de transporte. La mayoría de los déficits comerciales de Islandia se registraron con China, Noruega, Alemania y Dinamarca, mientras que la mayoría de los superávits comerciales se registraron con los Países Bajos, España y Francia.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the ISK while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the ISK.
