Exports slip 4pc in February

Earnings from exports declined 3.92 per cent year-on-year to $3.19 billion in February because of a fall in apparel shipment as the lingering coronavirus pandemic continues to hurt the country's key markets.  The merchandise shipment was also 4.83 per cent below the month's export target of $3.35 billion, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).
