Excluding energy products and non-monetary gold, the foreign trade shortfall was $1.21 billion.

The main partner for imports during September was China, followed by Russia, Germany, the UAE, and the USA.

On a seasonally and calendar-adjusted basis, exports dropped 4.3 percent over the month, while imports grew by 8.2 percent.
