Electronic products, on the other hand, posted higher growth in July of 10.3% from a 4.1% increase in June.

The largest contributors to NODX growth in July were the EU 27 (+22.9%), Malaysia (+29.9%) and Taiwan (+24.4%).

Meanwhile, growth also slowed down for non-oil re-exports (NORX), from a 31.4% uptick in June to a 25.2% increase in July.

On the other hand, oil domestic exports rose at a faster pace, rising 97.1% in July from a 66.2% uptick in June.

Overall, exports expanded by 29.1% in July.

With an expansion in exports, and a 33.0% growth in imports, total trade grew by 31.0% in July.
