CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE International Trade 11-14-11
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
The US Trade Balance fell to $43.1 billion down from $44.9 billion (revised) for August as exports increased more than imports in September.
Exports rose to $180.4 billion and imports remained nearly unchanged at $223.5 billion.
California’s state trade balance fell to $17 billion. Exports were just over $13 billion. This included $8.5 billion in manufactured products, $1.67 billion in non-manufactured products and $3.2 billion in re-exports. Meanwhile imports decreased to $30.8 billion down from $32 billion the previous month.
California remains second to Texas in exports and overall trade activity.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
