| Notes : |
1. |
Offshore trade in the context of exports of
services is constituted by the gross margin from merchanting and the
commission from merchandising services for offshore transactions,
but does not represent the entire value of goods. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
For a clearer comparison, the sales values
of goods involved in merchanting in 1999 and 2000 are shown against
the values of re-exports of goods in same years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
Figures in brackets denote
percentage changes in 2000 over 1999. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
# |
In 1999 and 2000, about 23.4% and 24.0%
respectively of the values of goods handled in merchanting were sold
to affiliated companies. |
