The Secretary of State for Planning, Milton Reis, who was speaking at the usual briefing of the Ministry of Economy and Planning (MEP), said that the figure represents an increase of 40.2 percent.

He noted that this was the result of a 25.0 percent rise in exports, influenced by a 28.4 percent rise in exports from the oil sector.

According to Milton Reis, the stock of Gross International Reserves stood at US$15.1 billion, against US$14.9 billion at the end of 2020, representing an increase of 1.8 percent, equivalent to 11.4 months of imports of goods and services.

In relation to exports from the non-oil sector, he noted cement, with USD 14.31 million, beer (USD 6.30 million), glass packaging (USD 2.70 million), bananas (USD 2.48 million), juices and soft drinks (USD 2.32 million) and sugar (USD1.73 million).
