Here we have again Piresia, this beautiful country. Statisticians collected the following data on the foreign economic transactions of Priesia in 2018.
Goods export: $2,320,000
Goods import: $5,653,000
80% of export revenues arrived to the accounts of the exporters, while 90% of import is paid by the importers up to 31st of December, 2018. The rest of the payments remain as implicit lending of the suppliers towards the buyers (thus it is a financial transaction).

Services imported is $1,436,000
Expenditures on services were settled completely up to 31st December, 2018 in both directions.
Some Priesians worked abroad for a short while in 2018 and brought home altogether $120,000 wage income, but Piresian companies paid $187,000 in wages to foreigners working in the country for some time in this year.
