UNCTAD's Bilateral FDI Statistics provides up-to-date and systematic FDI data for 206 economies around the world, covering inflows (table 1), outflows (table 2), inward stock (table 3) and outward stock (table 4) by region and economy. Data are in principle collected from national sources. In order to cover the entire world, where data are not available from national sources, data from partner countries (mirror data) as well as from other international organizations have also been used.

This table presents annual statistics on international trade in services of individual economies by some 100 service categories for trade-partner “World total”. It further contains aggregated figures for various groups of economies for selected principal service categories. The data presented are the result of the common work of UNCTAD and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

This table presents merchandise trade complementarity index which assesses the suitability of preferential trade agreement between two economies given the structure of one potential partners’ exports match the imports of the other potential partner. Changes over time may indicate whether the trade profiles are becoming more or less compatible.

This Dataset presents merchandise trade by trading partner and product based on the SITC commodity classification, Revision 3, at the one- and two-digit level, expressed in thousands of United States dollars. The data are also summarized by group of economies, for both reporting economy and trading partner, and by broader product groups.

This table shows the value of total merchandise exports and imports, expressed in millions of United States dollars and percentages of the world total.

This dataset shows statistics on the international maritime transport. It contains data on the size of the world merchant fleet by flag of registration and by type of ship. Data are presented in thousands of dead-weight tons (DWT).The dataset presents also, for each region or country 1) its share in the world fleet, and 2) the share of a ship-type in its fleet. From 2011 onwards, the figures on numbers of ships are also available, as well as the data in gross tonnage (GT).   This table contains consolidated time series from various issues of the UNCTAD Review of Maritime Transport. The Review reports on the worldwide evolution of shipping, ports and multimodal transport related to the major traffics of liquid bulk, dry bulk and containers. Please see http://unctad.org/rmt.   The data refer to the beginning of an indicated year.   The figures cover seagoing propelled merchant ships of 100 gross tons and above, excluding inland waterway vessels, fishing vessels (from 2011 onwards only), military vessels, yachts, and offshore fixed and mobile platforms and barges (with the exception of FPSO - floating production, storage and offloading vessels - and drillships). Break in series: from 2011 onwards - (a) data also include the United States and Canada Great Lakes fleets; and (b) figures no longer cover the fishing vessels.

This Dataset contains new preliminary annual estimates on international trade in services, based on the most recent quarterly figures. The underlying sources and methodology are different to previously used by UNCTAD and those used in the table containing the longer series of annual trade-in-services statistics. Consequently, the two data sets should not be merged or used interchangeably. The preliminary figures and derived growth rates included in this new series should be given priority as they are more up-to-date. However, users are advised that when the final annual data are published in May, these should be treated as the definitive series. The data in the table entitled "Services (BPM6): Exports and imports by service-category and by trade-partner” are kept on the web for users who require information on detailed services' sub-items or longer time-series.

This table presents annual statistics on international trade in services of individual economies by trading partner and by 78 selected service categories. In addition, the table contains data for services trade of various groups of economies with "world" and for selected principal service categories. The data presented are the result of the common work of UNCTAD and the World Trade Organization (WTO), in cooperation with the International Trade Center (ITC) and the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD).

The dataset is set of three datasets:  UNCTADGDPDNI2022 UNCTADMTS2021 UNCTPAE2020 This table is a compilation of statistics of trade in goods and services as reported in the Balance of Payments. The conceptual framework used for the compilation is based on the IMF Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5, 1993). Notes: The statistics presented correspond to the concepts and definitions of the IMF Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6), except those countries and territories who present their figures according to the fifth edition of the Manual (BPM5). Exports and imports of goods and services are credits and debits of goods and services as reported in the current account of the balance of payments.  Goods include general merchandise on a BOP basis, goods under "merchanting" and nonmonetary gold. In order for a transaction to be recorded under "goods", a change of ownership from/to a resident of a local country to/from a non-resident in a foreign country has to take place.  BOP-based statistics of trade in goods (change of ownership principle between residents and non-residents) are usually not comparable to IMTS-based merchandise trade data (physical border crossing principle) due to differences in the concepts and definitions. In some countries, the differences may be quite significant. Trade in services results from intangible actions such as transportation, travel, maintenance and repairs, business services, royalties or licensing.  Estimated individual countries figures are included in geographical regions or economic groupings calculation but not always shown separately.
