Waggaa al-ergii rikardii; harki afraffaa sadii warqee fi buna

By The Ensight desk

The Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration put goods exports at US$10.7 billion for the year to 7 July, 114% of target and the highest in the country's history. Gold was US$5.65 billion and coffee US$3 billion. Mining revenue tripled from US$1.88 billion, almost all of it from artisanal workings. Manufactured exports remain about 2% of the basket.
