"Per February 2020, the trade balance registered a surplus $61 million, an opposed to the same period in 2019 when a deficit of $384 million was registered," the INE said in its monthly report on imports and exports.
The overall export in the first two months was $1.44 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 8.6 percent.
