The value of Japan's trade with Bahrain in 2011 remained nearly the same as last year in spite of 20% slump in Japan's exports to that country, thanks to an increase in the value of her imports. Total trade was valued at nearly USD 1.2 billion compared to USD 1.3 billion in the previous year.
Japan's exports to Bahrain declined 20.06% to USD 471 million against USD 589.3 million in 2010. In line with the general trend, Japan's motor vehicle exports to Bahrain especially of passenger cars, slipped by 22.27% to USD 310.8 million from USD 399.9 million in 2010. Though export of general machinery as a whole declined by 14.83% export of transmission products, pipes, taps and valves and trucks with lifts has shown considerable increase.
Export of electrical machinery saw a decline of 41.89% caused by lower exports of electrical appliances for switching or protecting, and also of carbon electrodes. However, major expansion in exports were registered for the export of lighting or signalling equipment, insulating cable and wire, electric motors, line telephone appliances etc.
Japan's mineral fuel import from Bahrain was limited to light oils as it completely stopped importing crude oils from that country during 2011. Japan used to import small quantities of crude oils and petroleum gases from Bahrain in the previous years. The value of import of light oils increased 41.99% to $694.1m in 2011, which covered over 86% of Japan's overall imports from Bahrain. The remaining portion of imports was covered by aluminium, seafood and glassware. Japan imported nearly 6.7 million barrels of light oils from Bahrain in 2011, compared to 6 million barrels in 2010.
Japan had been a traditional importer of aluminium from Bahrain in the form of unwrought aluminium and unwrought aluminium alloys. However, the quantity of aluminium import from Bahrain in 2011 declined considerably. The value of aluminium imports declined by 73.22% to USD 18.6 million in 2011 compared to USD 69.5 million in 2010.
