Whereas <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_imp_of_goo_and_ser_as_of_gdp&int=-1>imports of goods and services</a> constitutes a little over 31% of the country's GDP, <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_exp_of_goo_and_ser_as_of_gdp&int=-1>exports as a proportion of GDP</a> is less than 16%, leaving a trade deficit, which was more than USD42 million in the <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_tra_bal_wit_us&int=-1>trade balance with the USA</a> alone, in 2003.
