Exports rose 1.8 percent year-on-year in June, faster than the 1.1 percent increase in May. Moreover, this was the sixth successive monthly rise.

Exports of machinery, transport equipment, and food and luxury goods were particularly high in June, the agency said.

Imports were also 4.9 percent higher compared to last year amid more inflows of minerals, food and luxury goods, machinery, and transport equipment.
