United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Statistics
UNCTAD produces more than 150 indicators and statistical time series essential for the analysis of: International trade, economic trends, foreign direct investment, external financial resources, population and labor force, commodities, information economy, creative economy and maritime transport.
The sources are cited in the Table Summary info. Additional information and notes on particular tables can be found by clicking on info in the table headings, dimensions or items. The methodology is described in the summaries that can be opened by clicking on info as well as other useful information regarding the data.
In the exports and imports tables, the Economy refers to reporting entity and Partner refers to its trading country. Please note that exports and imports are asymmetrical (due to various limitations on the compilation methodology).
In case of change in the statistical coverage of a country, it is identified by adding an end year after the country name. For example, Indonesia(2002) indicates that the statistical coverage of Indonesia, including Timor-Leste, was valid until 2002.
