“The Quarterly Statistical Bulletin Series is a publication that provides data quarterly on the analysis of Nigeria’s foreign trade (HS Code 01 – 97), which is captured at customs entry points throughout the country by the Nigeria Customs Service and uploaded into the Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System (NICIS2).
The quantity and value of imports and exports of these raw materials and products categorized by their respective Double-Digit HS-Code are analyzed to derive key indicators of interest.
The publication addresses the country’s raw materials imports substitution/deletion, local utilization rates, and other key components of the economy such as employment, industry, exchange rate, etc,” the DG stated Prof. Nnanyelugo emphasized that the Quarterly Statistical Bulletin is more than a publication; he said it is a transformative tool for national development.
Stressing also that it shall provide comprehensive and meticulously analyzed data on Nigeria’s foreign trade, raw materials processing, and utilization rates and said it is critical for identifying trends, making informed decisions, and shaping the future of our industries.
