Myanmar earned over 9.41 billion U.S. dollars from the export of finished industrial goods in over 11 months of present fiscal year (FY) 2019-2020 which started in October, according to figures released by the Commerce Ministry Thursday.

As of Sept. 11 of this FY, the finished industrial goods or manufacturing goods sector topped the list with the most export value, following by agriculture and mineral sectors among other exports.

This FY's figures decreased by over 108 million U.S. dollars, compared to the same period of last FY 2018-2019 when it registered over 9.51 billion U.S. dollars.

During the period, the country's export totaled over 16.7 billion U.S. dollars while its import shared over 18.2 billion U.S. dollars, the ministry's figures said.
