00:00I don't expect the momentum to continue honestly if you look at the global trend
00:15and we look at the revised numbers by IMF World Bank on the World Economy and also the revised number by WTO on World Trade
00:23However, you see the spike in the first three months especially last month in March
00:28That is because we believe that companies are exporting quickly and also stocking up front loading a lot of the goods that's required before the tariff comes into effect

00:50So the short answer to your question is I don't think it will be as strong going forward
00:57Thank you
00:59Thank you
01:00Thank you
