CPB World Trade Monitor (including April 2013)

The volume of world trade increased 1.4% in April 2013, following a revised decline of 0.1% in March. This is shown by the CPB World Trade Monitor.

World industrial production went up 0.2% month on month, following a 0.4% increase in March.
Please note that the enclosed data replace those of 24 June. *)

*) Unfortunately one of the datafiles CPB received for the April 2013 monitor contained errors in the industrial production data for some countries. Therefore on June 26 we replaced the June 24 files on the site by the correct data. All trade data are unaffected. We apologize for the inconvenience.

For questions please contact wtm@cpb.nl.

The release of the next monthly CPB World Trade Monitor is scheduled tentatively for 24 July 2013.
