BMI View: Oil prices are still above US$120 per barrel despite having come off their highs, and as such we leave our forecast for exports of goods and services in 2008 unchanged for now, at US$11.9bn in 2008. Despite strong export growth, a current account deficit (forecast to be 9.4% of GDP) will remain in place due to capital imports.
