Trade with U S A Shows Rapid Australia Trade Balance Gain
Advance figures from the Customs Department show a notable improvement in Australia’s trade with the United States for the first nine months of 1986/37. The adverse balance narrowed from a deficit of 4,149,000 to a surplus of 2,409,000, driven largely by wool exports rising nearly 175 percent and bullion and specie gains. Exports during July boosted totals, while bullion exports from New Guinea aided the shift. however, the bullion and other exports are not fully reflected in the value due to mining and pricing factors. Imports measured 10,251,000 for the period.
