What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is US$32.5 million for Aug 2026, up 67.5% on the same month a year earlier.
  • In the first 8 months of 2026 the total was US$285.7 million, up 46.8% on the same stretch of 2025.
  • Over the latest 12 months it came to US$390.3 million, up 35.2% on the 12 months before.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged +58.1% over the last three months, against +82.1% in the three months before: the year-on-year pace has eased.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is 11.9% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.71, a moderate fit, with sizeable swings around the path).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is 27.6% a year over five years and 18.6% a year over ten, on 12-month totals.
  • The latest figure (12-month total) is the highest on record.
  • The past five years include an exceptional swing in the annual growth rate, so no typical range is quoted.
  • There is a regular seasonal pattern: over the last 5 full years the high point has been January and the low point June. Compare each month with the same one a year earlier, not with the one before.

How to read this series

Merchandise trade. Goods exported and imported each month, in US dollars, with imports broken down by type. The country imports far more goods than it exports; the gap is paid for mainly by tourism, which is a service and is not counted here.

  • Shown in current prices (nominal). Part of any long-run rise reflects inflation rather than a larger real amount.
  • A flow: it measures activity during each month, and months add up to an annual total.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

MMA’s note: Jet-fuel and other re-exports

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
