External Trade - February 2016

In February 2016, according to preliminary data of ‘national concept' in current prices, the trade balance ended in a surplus of CZK 22.0 bn, which was an increase of CZK 4.5 bn, year−on−year (y−o−y).

Year−on−year, total balance in 'national concept' was favourably influenced mainly by growth of the trade surplus in 'machinery and transport equipment' (by CZK 6.3 bn) and a decrease of deficit in 'mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials' (by CZK 3.2 bn) and 'beverages and tobacco' (by CZK 0.8 bn). Total balance was unfavourably affected by a y−o−y deepening of deficit in 'chemicals and related products' (by CZK 3.8 bn), and 'food and live animals' (by CZK 0.9 bn) and 'crude materials' (by CZK 0.1 bn). Surplus fell in 'miscellaneous manufactured articles' (by CZK 0.8 bn); and balance deteriorated in 'manufactured goods classified chiefly by material' (by CZK 0.4 bn) as a surplus turned into a deficit.

The trade balance with EU28 Member States ended in a surplus of CZK 54.5 bn, which was by CZK 2.0 bn more, y−o−y. Deficit of trade with non-EU countries decreased by CZK 2.8 bn to amount to CZK 30.6 bn.

Month-on-month, seasonally adjusted exports and imports in ‘national concept’ rose by 0.8% and 2.8 % respectively. The development trend shows increasing exports (+0.7%) and imports (+1.6%).

Year−on−year, 'national concept' exports grew by 5.0% (to CZK 284.0 bn) and imports by 3.5% (to CZK 262.0 bn).

__________________
Notes:

Exports and imports in ‘national concept’ are derived from adjustments of data on movement of goods across the border (‘cross-border concept’). Goods which are moved in/from the territory of the Czech Republic by foreign entities are excluded and, on the other hand goods traded between the Czech and foreign entities on the territory of the Czech Republic are taken into account. Table 5 on website: https://www.czso.cz/csu/czso/vzonu_ts shows this adjustment.
The both concepts of external trade include the value of goods sent for inward or outward processing. Goods sent for processing are excluded from the value of exports and imports in the balance of payments and in the national accounts according to ESA and BPM6.
The data in national concept are used as an input data source for the balance of the payments and the national accounts.
The published data are based on data obtained of 98.5% of companies (for goods dispatched) and 98.6% of companies (for goods arrived) obliged to report to the Intrastat system. Data for companies that failed to report (non-response) have been imputed according to dispatches and arrivals that these companies reported in the previous periods. Data for companies exempted from the reporting duty were estimated on the basis of the data given in the VAT return forms. The VAT data which are not available are extrapolated on the basis of the values in previous periods.
Data of 2015 and 2016 are preliminary. Data of the reference month are released together with updated data of the previous three months in cross-border concept and with updated data of the last finished quarter and individual months of the reference quarter in national concept. All data are processed from basic reporting units and subsequently rounded.
