The UAE's non-oil foreign trade grew by 7 percent by the end of April 2010 to Dh 56.04 billion as compared to Dh 52.34 billion, preliminary statistics released by the Federal Customs Authority (FCA) showed. ''Non-oil exports saw a 42 per cent rise to Dh 6.45 billion in April 2010 from Dh 4.55 billion in same month last year. Re-exports surged 12 per cent to Dh 12.31 billion from Dh 10.95 billion while imports rose slightly by 1 per cent to Dh 37.3 billion from Dh 36.84 billion for the same period under review, a FCA press release said. The growth rate in the non-oil exports and re-exports against that of imports in April 2010 underpinned the positive impact of the economic policy the United Arab Emirates' leadership is adopting amid the international financial crisis that has been hitting the world since 2008,'' the release was quoted as saying by the UAE news agency "WAM".
