From Q3 GDP - neutral effect on growth of +0.4%
By Laurie Laird and Jamie Satchithanantham
London (MNI) - The UK trade gap widened in the month of November,
courtesy of xxxxxxxx, leaving trade on track to contribute
positively/negatively to gross domestic product in the fourth quarter.
CAR EXPORTS?
Over the month of November, the total trade gap rose to
Stg2.804 billion, from a revised Stg2.270 billion in October, compared
to the MNI median forecast of a Stg1.4 billion shortfall.
Total exports rose by 0.6% to Stg52.645 billion in November,
while imports jumped by 1.6% to Stg55.449 billion.
That means the deficit must fall to Stg800 million in December to
leave the fourth quarter shortfall on par with the third quarter trade
gap, according to a National Statistics official. The deficit fell below
that level, to Stg657 million in April of 2017.
However, the official warned that monthly trade figures are not
adjusted for price changes and are not directly comparable to data
included in the calculation of gross domestic product.
The deficit in goods widened to Stg12.231 in November, from
a revised Stg11.677 billion gap in October, compared to the MNI median
forecast of Stg10.7 billion.
Exports of goods rose by 1.0% to Stg29.108 billion in November,
while imports increase by 2.1% to Stg41.339 billion.
But the sharp fall in sterling since the vote to leave the European
Union did boost exports over 2017. Between January and November,
price-adjusted goods exports rose by 8.2%, while imports increased by
just 4.1%, according to the official.
The trade gap in goods with the 27 other nations of the European
Union declined to Stg7.556 billion in November from Stg8.303 billion in
September. Exports to EU countries increased by 2.6%, while imports fell
by 1.7%.
The non-EU trade gap widened to Stg4.675 billion in
November, from Stg3.374 billion the previous month.
