Balance of Payments of Georgia. 2007 5

1. methodoloGical review

National Bank of Georgia is responsible for Balance of Payments compilation since 2007.

The balance of payments, international investment position and external debt of Georgia are elaborated quarterly and annually in millions of US Dollars. These documents do not include data on external economic operations of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region.

The balance of payments, international investment position and external debt statistics of Georgia are revised on a regular basis and can affect any period.

1.1. methodological standards on the balance of payments

The balance of payments (BOP) is a macroeconomic and statistical statement that systematically summarizes, for a specified time period, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The data is classified and compiled according to the international standards recommended by the International Monetary Fund in the Balance of Payments Manual (fifth edition).

Definitions and General Principles

Balance of payments structurally consists of two parts: current account and capital and financial account. The current account comprises: goods, services, income, and current transfers. The capital and financial account comprises: capital transfers, direct investment, portfolio investment, financial derivatives, other investment, and reserve assets. Transactions reflected in BOP are operations made between residents and non-residents.

An economic unit is a resident unit when it has a center of economic interest and a permanent location in the economic territory of a country for more than one year irrespective of the citizenship.

6 National Bank of Georgia

The economic territory of a country con-sists of its geographic territory administered by a government, where the persons, goods and capital circulate freely and are subject of the same monetary and fiscal policy. Economic territory also consists of: airspace, territorial waters, territories from international waters over which the country has exclusive rights, territorial enclaves situated on the territory of other countries, such as embassies, military bases, free zones etc. In its turn the territorial enclaves of such type that belong to other countries are not included in the economic territory of the given country.

A physical or legal person has a center of economic interest within a country when there exists some location – dwelling, place of production, or other premises – within the economic territory of the country, or from, which the unit engages or intends to conti-nue engaging, either indefinitely or over a fi­nite but long period of time (one or more than one year).

The main principle that must be followed as an evaluation base of the transactions is the market price that is defined as amounts of money that a willing buyer pays to acquire something from a willing seller, when both are independent parties and when all con-siderations are solely commercial.

The time at which a transaction is recorded is the real or estimated time at which ownership changes that is the time when currency operations are registered in the accounting records of the banks or enterprises.

The BOP does not use the notion of “payments“ in its general meaning, but in the meaning of transactions, because some international transactions do not involve pay-ments of money (for example barter), and some transactions do not elicit any such payments (for example inheritance).

economic sectorsFinancial account components of the BOP

– direct investment, portfolio investment, fi­nancial derivatives, and other investment are disaggregated by the economic sector

of residents involved in the operation. Four economic sectors are distinguished:– monetary authorities, the National Bank of

Georgia;– general government, which comprises

central government institutions and local public authorities;

– banking sector that includes all commercial banks in Georgia;

– other sectors comprise industrial and commercial enterprises, insurance com-panies, non­monetary financial institut­ions, households.

types of transactions:• exchanges – most transactions likely to be

recorded in balance of payments may be characterized as exchanges in which one transactor provides an economic value to another transactor and receives an equal value in return;

• transfers – transactions in which one transactor provides an economic value to another transactor and does not receive an equivalent value in return;

• migrations – migrations of individuals from one economy to another result in migrations of assets and liabilities of given individuals.The last two types of transaction have

a unilateral character that is why, in order to respect the double entry principle of the BOP, another entry with an opposite sign is needed;• imputed transactions – in the case when

transactions are imputed and entries are made in the balance of payments accounts when no actual flows occur, for example the reinvestment of foreign investors’ profit;

• reclassification and revaluation of claims and liabilities – the classification of financial items in the BOP reveal the motivation of creditor or debtor. Financial items are subject to reclassification in accordance with changes in motivation.The transactions mentioned above, (except

for reclassification and revaluation which are included only in the international investment position) are reflected in different item of the BOP structured in the following way:

Balance of Payments of Georgia. 2007 7

Goods comprises transactions with goods that cross the border of the country and either involve changes of ownership between resi-dents and non-residents (general merchandise, goods procured by carriers and non monetary gold) or do not involve change of ownership (goods for processing, repairs of goods).

services cover all types of services that are performed by residents for nonresidents and vice versa:– transportation services include air, railway,

auto, sea transport, pipeline transportation. Passenger, freight and other transportation services (cargo handling, storage, mainte-nance and clearing of transportation equ-ipment, etc.) are specified for each type of transportation, except for pipeline transportation;

– travel services – this item records on credit side the expenditures of nonresidents travelers for business and personal pur-poses during their visits in Georgia. The residents’ travel expenditures abroad are recorded on debit side of this item;

– communications services item covers international communications transactions: postal and telecommunication services, data transmission etc.;

– financial services cover financial interme­diary and auxiliary services conducted between residents and nonresidents;

– other services comprise services such as constructions, insurance services, com-puter and information services, royalties and license fees, other business services, personal, cultural and recreational ser-vices, government services etc.income registers two types of flows

between residents and nonresidents:– compensation of employees in the form

of salaries, wages or other benefits, in cash or in kind, paid by employers to the employees when parties belong to diffe-rent residency. These remunerations also include taxes paid in the host country, which are reflected as an opposite side entry at current transfers item. The employees expenditures in host country are registered as a counterpart record at travel item;

– investment income covers income recei-vable or payable associated, respectively, with residents’ holdings of external finan­cial assets and with residents’ liabilities to nonresidents. Investment income consists of direct investment income, portfolio investment income, income on other investment and on reserve assets.transfers are defined as offsetting entries

for real resources or financial items provided without quid pro quo, by one economy to another. Transfers are divided into current transfers and capital transfers, which are further subdivided into governmental and other sectors’ transfers. The most common examples of current transfers are humanita-rian aid and technical assistance; of capital transfers – debt cancellation by creditor, mig-rants’ transfers.

direct investment is a category of inter-national investment in which a resident entity in one economy (the direct investor) acquires a lasting interest in an entity resident in another economy (the direct investment enterprise). The direct investor of an enterprise is an investor that owns 10 percent or more in the ordinary shares or voting power (for an incorporated enterprise) or the equivalent (for an unincorporated enterprise). The “direct investment“ relation is extended to the enter-prises in which goods and/or money are invested from enterprises associated with them, that is to the capital investment bet-ween associated enterprises, branches and their head offices. Direct investment includes equity capital, reinvested earnings and other capital. For the category of direct investment there are directional distinctions (abroad or in the reporting economy), for equity capital and other capital items within this category, assets and liabilities.

portfolio investment is in the form of:– equity securities (when the investor holds

less than 10% of equity capital);– debt securities which are subdivided

into bonds and notes, money market instruments.

financial derivatives are financial instru­ments that are linked to a specific financial instrument, indicator, or commodity and through which specific financial risks can be traded in financial markets in their own right. Financial derivatives comprise transactions with swaps, options, guarantees, deposits, etc. and are registered on net basis.

other investment is primarily divided into investment that represent the financial assets (claims on non-residents) and liabilities to non-residents. Within this asset and liability classification, other investment transactions are further divided into trade credits, loans, currency and deposits, and other assets/liabilities.

trade credits consist of claims and liabi-lities that arise from direct extension of credit from a supplier to a buyer – that is, when payment for goods and services is made at a time that differs from the time when ownership changes. Trade credit arrangements do not involve the issue of securities. In the BOP of Georgia advance payment/deliveries of traded goods are recorded under this item.

miscellaneous arrears are reflected at “other liabilities“ item that mainly consists of arrears on external debt service.

reserve assets are financial instruments available to monetary authorities for financing or regulating payment imbalances. They can be used by these authorities to finance directly the BOP’s deficit or to influence indirectly the given deficit (intervention in the foreign exchange market for the purpose of regulating the exchange rate of the national currency).

The items of financial accounts are structured by sectors: monetary authorities, general government, banks, other sectors; portfolio investment and other investment are additionally classified by long term and short term investments.

data registration

The BOP is constructed on the basis of the double entry book-keeping system. Every

recorded transaction is represented by two (or more) entries with equal values. One of these entries is recorded under credit side with positive sign; the other is recorded under debit with a negative sign. For example, in the case when an export operation is made, the transaction value in the BOP will be reflected as credit in “Export“ and as debit in “Assets – currency and deposits“. The sum of all credit entries and debit entries should be identical, and the net balance of all entries in the statement should be zero. In practice, however, the accounts frequently do not balance. Data for balance of payments estimates often are derived from different sources; as a result, there may be a summary net credit or net debit. The separate entry, equal to the amount with reversed sign, is then made to balance the accounts (net errors and omissions item).

Credit entries are recorded:– for real resources denoting export;– for financial items reflecting reduction

in foreign assets or increase in foreign liabilities.Debit entries are recorded:

– for real resources denoting import;– for financial items reflecting increase in

foreign assets or decrease in foreign liabilities.Transfers are shown as credits when the

entries to which the transfers provide the offsets are debits and as debits when those entries are credits.

data source

The main sources of information used for compilation of the BOP of Georgia are: statistics department of the Ministry of Economic Development of Georgia (data on trade of goods and services, enterprise survey, households’ survey, specific surveys), banking institutions, the Ministry of Finance, other ministries and public institutions, the international organizations representatives in Georgia, other countries embassies.

Balance of Payments of Georgia. 2007 9

Along with the data received through statistical reports some estimations and adjustments are made in order to improve the data quality.

Imports/exports of goods– Import and export of goods are reflected in

FOB prices in the balance of payments of Georgia;

– CIF prices of imported goods are converted into FOB prices. For this adjustment an estimate of transportation and insurance services are used as a 10 percent of CIF price of imported goods.;

– The official data on imports/exports of goods received from the Customs Depart-ment are supplemented with estimations made by the National Bank of Georgia.

services

Transportation services– The value of transportation services of im-

ported goods is adjusted by data derived from the conversion of CIF prices into FOB prices (see imports/exports of goods), and it is divided by type of transportation (rail transport, air transport, auto transport etc);

– Besides that data is collected from other sources as well: “Georgian Railway“ Ltd, “Sakaeronavigatsia“ Ltd, sea ports and airports in Georgia. Based on the data received from the Department of Border Defense indirect estimations on the export/import of transportation services are made.

Travel– The value of travel export/imports are

derived from the data received from households surveys. The value on business travel is additionally adjusted upon the data received from different government institutions (ministries, departments etc) and banking sector;

– Information received from the Department of Border Defense on individuals crossing the border is also used for indirect estimations.

Besides that estimations are made on the expenses abroad of those engaged in export/import operations in goods as well as expenses of those working abroad for less than one year.

Other services– The data on other services such as

consultation, construction, financial and others are collected from the enterprises using such services. Then the volumes of such services are adjusted. The data for foreign embassies, diplomatic missions and international organizations are estimated using indirect methods. The data on diplomatic missions of Georgia abroad are obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia. Information on financial services is obtained from commercial banks’ reports. Information about insurance services is provided by State Insurance Supervision Agency.

income– The estimates of compensation of employ-

ees are mainly based on the household survey data; information on electronic money transfers from commercial banks’ reports is also used. Incomes of the residents employed in international orga-nizations are also estimated;

– Investment income is calculated based on various sources: report of the Ministry of Finance about interest payments on debt under state guarantee; report of commercial banks on interest payments in banking sector.

current transfers– Worker’s remittances are estimated

using the same methodology as for the compensation of employees;

– Information on the technical and humani-tarian assistance received from external sector is obtained from the Ministry of Finance, international organizations and foundations that have their offices on the territory of Georgia.

10 National Bank of Georgia

– The Customs Department data on move-ment of humanitarian goods is also used;

– The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia presents the data on membership fees of various international organizations;

– The values of grants for education of Georgian students abroad are estimated from the data of Ministry of Education and from the household survey data.

capital account– Capital transfers are calculated based on

information provided by Department of Grants and Humanitarian and Technical Assistance of Ministry of Finance, as well as on other information sources;

– Migrant’s transfers are calculated based on information obtained from sample surveys carried out by the Department of Statistics. Information of the Department of Border Defense about individuals entering and leaving the country is also used in estimations.

financial account

Direct investment– The data on direct investments are

estimated from the enterprise survey. The data on banking sector is obtained from commercial banks’ reports and the data on insurance companies – from State Insurance Supervision Agency;

– As for the direct investments of Georgia abroad, they have not a large scale and information at our disposal about such enterprises is likely to be incomplete.Portfolio investment

– Since the security market is at the stage of development in Georgia, portfolio investments are relatively small. They are practically absent in the non­financial sector and are encountered at a small scale in the banking sector. Relatively significant portfolio investments were occurred in 2006. The data on portfolio investments is obtained from commercial banks’ reports.

Other investments– The data on trade credits is estimated

on basis of information from enterprise survey;

– The data on loans, except other sector, is calculated from the Ministry of Finance and commercial banks’ reports. As to loans in other sectors, they are mainly estimated from the data of the enterprise survey; a certain additional information is obtained from the reports of relevant divisions in the Ministry of Finance.Reserve assets

– The data source is the balance accounts of the National Bank of Georgia.

1.2. methodological standards on the international investment position

The international investment position (IIP) of Georgia is compiled in accordance with standards recommended by the International Monetary Fund in the Balance of Payments Manual (fifth edition).

International investment position of a country shows, at a particular point in time, the stock of external financial assets and liabilities. The IIP comprises the whole set of claims and liabilities on/to non-residents in different sectors of an economy: monetary authorities, general government, banks and other sectors. Main items of this document are identical to those from financial account of the balance of payments: direct investment, portfolio investment, financial derivatives, and other investment (trade credits, loans, currency and deposits, other assets/liabilities), and reserve assets.

The difference between an economy’s financial assets and liabilities is economy’s net international investment position. Thus IIP can be net debtor or net creditor. The international investment position is worked out in the form of table containing following details:

Balance of Payments of Georgia. 2007 11

Thus international investment position at the end of the reporting period consists of the stock at the beginning of the period, adjusted by transaction flows, by exchange rate changes, by valuations changes and other adjustments in a given period. Operational changes reflect financial account transactions of the balance of payments. Other adjustments comprise corrections, reclassifications and changes required by the methodology of the IIP compilation.

The data source used in compilation of the IIP is identical to the one used for the compilation of the BOP financial account.

1.3. methodological standards on the external debt

External debt of Georgia is compiled accor-ding to recommendations of the IMF manual “External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users“.

Gross external debt of Georgia, at any given time, is the outstanding amount of those actual current, and not contingent, liabilities that require payments of principal and/or interest by the debtor at some points in the future and are owed to non-residents by residents of an economy.

External debt consists of the following:– debt securities;– loans;– trade credits;– currency and deposits;– other debt liabilities;– direct investment: intercompany lending;

debt securities include debt securities issued by Georgian residents, held by non-resident. Debts securities are divided by sector (issuer sector) and by the type of financial instruments.

The stock of liabilities on debt securities at any given time is the sum of the debt securities issued by Georgian residents and held by non-residents, minus overdue securities plus accrued interest for the reported period, if the interest payment is scheduled for a future period.

loans consist of the following: – Loans from the IMF – loans granted by the

IMF to the NBG;– Governmental loans – external loans recei-

ved from other countries;– Loans guaranteed by the government –

external loans of the private sector agreed under the guarantee of the government;

– Private loans – external loans received by the private sector with the exception of loans from the parent companies.The stock of liabilities in the form of loans

at any given time is the amount of the external loans received by Georgian residents minus payments of scheduled principal, minus ac-tual advance payments of principal.

Trade credits consist of external liabilities arising from direct extension of credit by sup-pliers for transactions in goods and services. They include:– Advance payments received by economic

agent from non-residents;– Liabilities on imports of goods and services

not paid in due time.currency and deposits consist of non-

residents deposits in Georgian banking system.

other liabilities cover:– Principal and interest arrears on external

loans and debt securities service.direct investment: intercompany len­

ding include:– Loans from parent companies or from

subsidiaries, branches and associates from abroad;

– Principal and interest arrears on these loans.The stock of intercompany lending at

any given time is the amount of the external loans received by Georgian subsidiaries/direct investors from their parent companies/branches minus the payments of scheduled principal and minus actual advance payments of principal.

The external debt is disaggregated by institutional sector, following the classification from the BOP: monetary authorities, general

government, banking, and other sectors. External liabilities under the guarantee are attributed to the borrower’s sector; they are reclassified at the guarantor’s sector only when the guarantee is activated.

For the analytical purpose the external debt is presented by maturity: short-term and long-term on an original maturity basis.

The data source used for the external debt compilation is identical to the one used for the compilation of the BOP financial account and IIP.

2007

2.1. General overview

In 2007 economic growth in Georgia was significant, Gross Domestic Product’s (GDP) growth rate has reached 12,4 percent. Besides of 2007 two-digit growth of GDP has been fixed twice: in 1997 when it reached 10,5 percent and in 200� – 11,1 percent. 2006-2007 was the period of particular activation of foreign investors. During these two years Foreign Direct Investments realized in Georgian economy reached almost � Billion of USD, far more than in whole period of 1995­2005. Foreign Direct Investments inflow in 2007 was 1,75 Billion of USD. Investments inflow and economic growth has resulted activation of foreign sector of economy. As a consequence, there was recorded the growth of credit’s as well as debit’s figures of current account of Balance of Payments and the current account deficit has grown as well. In 2007 this figure was more than 2 005,8 Million of USD, which was 5,2 times higher than in 200�, and 70,9 percent higher than in previous year. The current account deficit ratio to Gross domestic Product was 9,6 percent in 200�, in 2006 – 15,1 percent and in 2007 – 19,7 percent.

In 200�-2007 foreign trade has developed appreciably, exports of goods have been increasing as well as imports. In 2007 exports has increased by 2,5 times as compared with 200� and has reached 2088,� million of USD. During 200� – 2005 exports growth rate was stable and was �4,6 percent on average. In 2006, putting embargo on Georgian imports by Russia has resulted reducing of Georgia’s exports growth rate to 1�,2 percent, but in 2007 it has increased again to 25,� percent. During the last four years exports of services was increasing and in 2007 it has reached 1 094,1 million of USD, that is 2,4 times higher than the same figure in 2003. In 2007 main exports’ products were Ferro-alloys, ferrous waste and scrap; remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel and copper ores and concentrates. Exports by main economic categories was distributed as following: the

14 National Bank of Georgia

biggest rate, 6�,2 percent had Intermediate goods, �2,2 percent – Consumer goods, and 4,5 percent – Investment goods.

Increase in imported goods was even more significant in 2003­2007 and it has been fluctuating from 34 to 37 percent in the analyzed period. As a result of such a high growth rate, the import of goods amounted to 4,984.1 million of US Dollars in 2007, which is �.4 times higher comparing to 200�. In the

last five years growth rate of import exceeded growth rate of export and resulted negative trade balance deterioration. Trade deficit constituted 2.9 billion of US Dollars by the end of analyzed period. In 2007, 15 percent of total import was investment goods, 45 percent was intermediary consumption goods, and �6 percent were consumption goods. It is possible to conclude that 64 percent of total import consists of industrial import.

ratio worsening. Particularly, in 200� the coefficient was 69.1 but by the end of 2007 it declined by 15.� percentage point.

In the table 2.2.9 we can see the main 10 export products for 2007. Including 2005 Georgia’s first main export product was “Ferrous waste and scrap; remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel“, but in 2006 that trend has changed lightly and the product took the third place in export, while in 2007 it has moved to the second place within the main export goods. The highest export of “Ferrous waste and scrap; remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel“ was observed in 2004 amounting 96 million of US Dollars which comprised 15 percent of total exports. In 2005 share of this product in the total export reduced to 10 percent and during the last two years to 7 percent. Although its total amount in 2007 was quite significant – 96,8 million of US Dollars. The first exports product by exports value in last two years was “Ferro-alloys“, its exports value in 2007 1,8 times exceeded to the value in previous year and was 159,6 million of US Dollars that is 1�,0 percent of total exports.

The third export good was “Copper ores and concentrates“, with 6,4 percent share in 2007 total exports. The appearance of the “Motor cars“ on the forth position in exports, amounted 70,2 million of US Dollars was caused by the re-exports. Besides of non-organized exports of cars by individuals, since 2006 many large firms are engaging in organized re­export of the motor cars. The re-export was passing through Georgia to the neighbor countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

In 2007 on the fifth position in exports was “Gold unwrought or in semi-manufactured forms, or in powder“. Its export value has grew by 1,4 times compared to the previous year. The share of the “Other nuts, fresh or dried“ in total exports of 2007 remains significant and takes seventh place within the main export products.

2.3. capital and financial account

2.3.1. capital transfersCapital transfers are significant source for

financing of current account deficit. Capital transfers show increasing trend from 2002 until 2007. However, in 2007, we observe decline by 4�.6 million of US Dollars. That can be seen from the diagram below.

Decline in net capital transfers is due to a sharp decrease of capital inflows. Capital outflow decreased as well but the effect of the latter is not significant. This can be clearly seen in the table below.

Before 2007 the biggest share of the capital transfers amounted to government transfers. However, in 2007 the “other sector“ capital transfers increased significantly due to the growth of migrants’ transfers and other transfers. The credit entry of migrants’ transfers amounted to 44.5 million of US Dollars which is 2.6 times higher then in previous year.

The government sector capital transfers, that were particularly high in 2006 declined in 2007 and amounted to 67.9 mil US Dollars. In the table below capital transfers are given by sector breakdown.

International investment position of Georgia covering the whole economy has not been compiled until 2007. The National Bank of Georgia was compiling international investment position of only banking sector. Other sectors, which is quite significant part of the economy, were not included.

From 2007 Georgia subscribed for General Data dissemination System and with this took the responsibility of compiling international investment position of the country covering all sectors at least on annual basis according to international standards. Present report provides the full statistical data reflecting international investment position of Georgia for 2007. From the next year NBG intends to compile IIP on a quarterly basis. Below in the table 3.1 you can find short version of international investment position of Georgia, the full version is cited in the appendix. For the �1 of December of 2007 the international investment position of Georgia is negative and amounts to -71�9.4 million of US Dollars, compared to -5061,5 million of US Dollars for the end of 2006. As we can see, the international investment position has worsened by 2088.5 million of US Dollars or by 41.� percent, which is due to increased foreign investments in 2007 on one hand and current account deficit on the other hand.

By the end of 2007 the volume of total foreign assets amounted to 1,�99.7 million of US Dollars. During 2007 it has increased by 74�.7 million of US Dollars and by the end of the accounted period made up 214�.4 million of US Dollars. The main part of assets is represented by international reserves of the National Bank of Georgia − 67 percent of total assets at the end of the 2007, as compared to 6� percent in 2006. The important part of foreign assets comes from other investments, about 687.4 million of US Dollars, represented by currency and deposits and trade credits.

By the end of 2006 total foreign liabilities amounted to 6450.7 million of US Dollars. During 2007 liabilities have increased by 28�2.2 (4�.9 percent) and reached 9282.8 million of US Dollars by the end of accounting period. More than half of the foreign liabilities comprise direct investments – 5�88.7 million of US Dollars. Other investments are also significant part of total liabilities (3632.1 million of US Dollars) that mostly consist of loans from non-residents.

During 2007 the portfolio investment item in the liabilities of IIP has increased and due to the sizeable exchange rate changes has amounted to 262.0 million of US Dollars. That was caused by several reasons: portfolio investments (equaled ��.5 million of US Dollars) realized in the banking sector; price changes provoking �0.9 million of US Dollars increase in the same banking; reclassification of some

direct investments into portfolio investments.Increase in liabilities by 2564.6 million of

US Dollars mainly was due to the operational changes, 68.2 percent of which is foreign direct investments that is good news for Georgia. Loans received from external sector are also quite significant part of operational changes of total liabilities with �0 percent. The change of 5.9 percent in total liabilities is due to exchange rate changes. Main reason behind this is depreciation of USD both against Lari and EURO. Other factors’ influence on changes in total liabilities was quite insignificant. Changes in total liabilities due to price changes and other changes amounted to 67.2 and �4.6 million of US Dollars respectively. As a result, by the end of 2007 net international investment position exceeded -7 billion and amounted to -71�9.4 million of US Dollars.

4. exterNal deBt Gross External Debt statistics is harmonized with balance of payments. Four main sectors of economy are diversified: government sector, monetary authorities sector, banking sector and other sector. Besides that intercompany loans are separately recorded. Other sector is further disaggregated into: non­bank financial corporations, non­financial corporations, hou­seholds and nonprofit institutions serving hou­seholds. The latter sub-sector is currently not covered into the gross external debt, because of difficulties related to the compilation of this data. The data on non­bank financial organi­zations is only partly covered. In the nearest future special efforts will be made in order to capture the data on these sub-sectors.

As for currency composition, 1759.0 million of US Dollars from total increase is in foreign currency and 21.8 million of US Dollars – in national currency.
