In addition it sought to model the balance of trade on the context of exports and imports. The methodology used was Principle Components Analysis and time series. The study through principle components analysis, led to determing the mojor exports and imports variables. time series analysis on the othe hand comprises methods for analysing time series data in order to extract meaningful statistics and other characteristics of the data and time series forecasting.
