TUNIS, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Tunisia's trade deficit reduced to some 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in the first quarter of this year thanks to a remarkable increase in export, the National Institute of Statistics (INS) of Tunisia said Friday.

Data show the north African country's exports grew 35.2 percent from a year ago to some 4.3 billion dollars.

During the same period of time, Tunisia's imports were up 21.3 percent year on year, according to the INS. Enditem
