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 shows exports, imports and sum/average of exports and imports as percentage of nominal gross domestic product (GDP). The indicators are calculated for trade in goods, trade in services and total trade in goods and services.

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.

Merchandise: Trade value, volume, unit value, terms of trade indices and purchasing power index of exportsThis dataset contains export and import volume indices, rounding out trade value. Export and import unit value indices, derived terms of trade and purchasing power of exports indices are also provided in various base and reference years (2000, 2010 and 2015).The value index is the current value of exports (FOB) or imports (CIF) converted to United States dollars and expressed in percentage. The volume index is derived as the percentage ratio of the export or import value index to the corresponding unit value index (value index / unit value index *100) unless otherwise noted at country level.The weights used for the calculation of the indices correspond to base year 2000. For convenience, and to facilitate international comparisons, the series have been rescaled to new references 2010=100 and 2015=100.

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 Dataset presents product concentration and diversification indices.  The diversification index indicates whether the structure of exports or imports by product of a given country or country group differs from the world pattern. The product concentration index shows how exports and imports of individual countries or country groups are concentrated on a few products or otherwise distributed in a more homogeneous manner among a series of products.

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 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. 

The table presents the latest quarterly statistics for total services exports and imports, in millions of dollars, for individual countries, for which the data are available. Quarterly figures for commercial services, which exclude government services, are included as a memo item. Also shown are the year-on-year percentage changes. The data presented are the result of the common work of World Trade Organization (WTO) and UNCTAD, and are published simultaneously by both organizations. (WTO statistics database)
