Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>G20 merchandise exports remained stable in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Friday.<\/p>\n

The stability in exports was primarily due to a decrease in exports from the European Union, as noted by the Paris-based organization.<\/p>\n

However, G20 merchandise imports returned to growth in the April-June period after seven consecutive quarters of contraction, rising 1.2% from the previous period. This growth was bolstered by strong increases in the US and UK.<\/p>\n

In the US, merchandise exports recorded 0% growth in the three months leading up to June, partly due to declines in shipments of industrial supplies and materials. Meanwhile, Canadian exports fell by 1.1%, driven by decreases in the motor vehicles and mineral sectors.<\/p>\n

EU exports declined by 0.9% quarter-on-quarter in April-June, reflecting reduced sales of chemicals and other manufactured goods in Germany. However, imports to the EU posted growth for the first time in two years, increasing by 0.2% from the previous period.<\/p>\n

The UK saw a 2% decrease in exports, while imports surged by 8.3%, led by machinery and transport equipment.<\/p>\n

In Asia, merchandise exports rose by 2% in China and 2.7% in Korea, driven by strong sales of automobiles, semiconductors, and high-tech equipment. Conversely, Japan’s exports dipped by 2.1%, partly due to the closure of a major automobile plant and a weak yen.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, G20 exports and imports of services in the second quarter increased by 1.9% and 1.1%, respectively, slowing from the 3.4% and 3.7% increases recorded in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
