The value of exports grew 24.0 percent annually in March, and imports surged 27.0 percent. Imports of capital goods, except transport, advanced by 39.0 percent from last year, and exports of marine products showed a growth of 23.0 percent.

For the last 12 months, the deficit in the balance of trade in goods was ISK 430.6 billion, or ISK 58.3 billion less favorable than during the previous 12 months, the agency said.
