The value of imports from Kuwait decreased strongly, by 56.0 per cent compared to in February of the previous year. The import amounted to $48 million in February 2021. More than half of the value of imports was in Sitc333 (petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude) representing a share of 82.0 per cent. Other major categories of imports were Sitc931 (special transactions and commodities not classified according to kind), 10.9 per cent of imports and Sitc335 (residual petroleum products, n.e.s., and related materials) 6.4 %.

The value of exports to Kuwait were 1.8 percent higher than in February of the previous year, thus amounting to $200 million. The largest product groups of exports were: Sitc781 (motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver), including station-wagons and racing cars), which represented a share of 32.1 per cent of total exports, Sitc874 (measuring, checking, analysing and controlling instruments and apparatus, n.e.s.) 10.3 % and Sitc782 (motor vehicles for the transport of goods and special-purpose motor vehicles) 8.1 % of the exports.

Development during January-February 2021
