Preliminary figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) have shown that exports bounced back in September, following declines in July and August.
The CSO figures showed that seasonally adjusted exports rose by 11pc in September to €7.2bn compared to August. Meanwhile, imports fell by 2pc to €3.4bn.
The value of exports between January and August was €57bn, the CSO said, which was similar to the figure reported for the same period in 2008.
However, imports fell 23pc from €39m to €30m during the same period.
The growth of the export sector is widely seen as forming a key feature in Ireland’s economic recovery.
