Exports Up 7 %

(ABS-CBN) - Philippine exports rose seven percent to $3.7 billion in February from a year earlier, below last month's 27 percent annual surge, the government has said.

Shipments of electronic goods, which account for well over half of total exports, rose 12.3 percent from a year ago.

Besides electronics, which are largely assembled from imported parts, other key exports include garments and accessories, vehicle parts, coconut oil, tropical fruit and wood furniture. - Reuters
