(a) Trade indices were revised with a wide coverage and 2010 as the base year. In order to accommodate the
variability arising from a monthly frequency, in computing the monthly trade indices, first the volume index
is computed as a Laspeyres index and then the unit value index is derived as the ratio between the value index
and the volume index. This methodology avoids the subjective imputation of prices that would be required in
deriving a price index first when certain items are not exported or imported in a particular month.
