The General Department of Customs, once again revised September’s trade balance to USD1.1 billion, from the previous estimate of USD400 million released at the GSO end of last month. This was similar to last month's revision. In August, the General Department of Customs also made a large adjustment of around USD1.2 billion (revised trade surplus from USD400 million to USD1.6 billion).
