Exports sharply contracted 11.19 per cent in January to 23.8 Billion Dollar while imports declined 11.39 per cent to 32.2 Billion Dollar, according to official data released by the Ministry of Commerce Friday.A steep fall in the price of global crude oil primarily led to contraction of imports, apart from a lack of pick-up demands for other items.
