Knight Investments LLC Officials meet to discuss US Department of Commerce export increase

June 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Knight Investments LLC Officials discussed earlier today the deficit resulting from a struggling economy and troubled financial institutions lacking the credit necessary to extend to local business owners.

The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the Department of Commerce, announced earlier this year that total March exports of $123.6
billion and imports of $151.2 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit of $27.6 billion, up from $26.1 billion in February, revised.  March exports were $3.0 billion less than February exports of $126.6 billion.  March imports were $1.6 billion less than February imports of $152.8 billion.

Knight Investments LLC Chief Financial Officer Montelly Lopez Jr stated that the need for financial analysis was at a critical moment in today's financial circumstance, and there would be a very serious plan to be implemented in order to combat the current financial market.

"We are currently in a market that is experiencing credit difficulties. The credit I make reference to consists of the local financial institutions being capable of extending lines of credits to the average business owner. It is very critical that the small business world have readily accessible money to stay a float, and currently this is very difficult in today's financial market. That was one of our key discussions at a recent international summit where I had the liberty of sitting in on."

In March, the goods deficit increased $1.2 billion from February to $38.4 billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.2 billion to $10.8 billion.  Exports of goods decreased $2.5 billion to $82.0 billion, and imports of goods decreased $1.3 billion to $120.3 billion.  Exports of services decreased $0.5 billion to $41.7 billion, and imports of services decreased $0.3 billion to $30.9 billion.

supplies and materials ($0.7 billion); capital goods ($0.5 billion); and other goods ($0.4 billion).  An increase occurred in consumer goods ($0.3 billion).  Foods, feeds, and beverages and automotive vehicles, parts, and engines were virtually unchanged.

Services

Services exports decreased $0.5 billion from February to March.  The decrease was more
than accounted for by decreases in travel, passenger fares, and other transportation (which includes freight and port services).  An increase in transfers under U.S. military sales contracts was partly offsetting.  Changes in other categories of services exports were small.

Knight Investments LLC Officials stressed the need for private sector companies to look towards their resources to help struggling businesses along, and affirmed its commitment to help these industries very soon.

Services imports decreased $0.3 billion from February to March.  The decrease was more
than accounted for by decreases in travel and passenger fares.  Changes in other categories of services imports were small.

largest decreases were in travel ($1.4 billion), other transportation ($1.1 billion), and passenger fares ($0.5 billion).

The March 2008 to March 2009 decrease in imports of services was $2.3 billion.  The
largest decreases were in other transportation ($1.3 billion), travel ($0.7 billion), and passenger fares ($0.4 billion).  An increase in other private services ($0.2 billion),
which includes items such as business, professional, and technical services, insurance
services, and financial services, was partly offsetting.  The largest increase was in
business, professional, and technical services, and the largest decrease was in financial
services.
