(RTTNews) - Norway's foreign trade surplus declined in March from a year ago as imports grew faster than exports, data from Statistics Norway showed on Tuesday.

Exports climbed 7.6 percent annually in March, while imports surged by 20.3 percent. The overall increase in exports was mainly driven by a 44.2 percent growth in natural gas.

On a monthly basis, exports declined 8.7 percent, while imports grew by 11.3 percent.
