- In quarter three 2012, trade in goods and services was estimated to have been in deficit by £8.5 billion compared with a deficit of £10.1 billion in the preceding quarter.
- Excluding oil and erratic items, the volume of exports of goods was 4.1 per cent higher in quarter three 2012 compared with the preceding three months. The volume of imports fell 0.3 per cent over the same period.
