 Figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reveal an increase in local export figures.

International trade figures indicate local exports increased, while imports decreased for South Australia in April.

The balance of goods and services for April was a surplus of $134 million (seasonally adjusted), from a revised $2.04 billion deficit in March.

South Australian exports were in line with the national trend with a 3 per cent increase in exports for the month.
