| Denmark's cartoon flap hurt exports |
| 2006-09-10 |
| Danish exports to Muslim countries have been hit hard by a row over cartoons depicting Muhammad, officials in Denmark say. A Muslim boycott of Danish goods led to a 15.5 percent drop in total exports between February and June, Denmark's National Statistics Institute reports. Trade to the Middle East fell by half. Exports to Saudi Arabia fell by 40 percent, with similar declines in exports to Iran, Libya, Sudan and Yemen. The boycott's cost to Danish businesses was around $170 million, when compared with the same period last year, statistics showed. Food companies, particularly those selling dairy products, were among the hardest hit, the BBC reported Saturday. |
