Add to Preferred SourcesThe WTO issued on 29 July the latest editions of its annual statistical publications, the “World Trade Statistical Review” and “Trade Profiles”.
World Trade Statistical Review 2019 looks into the latest trends in global trade, with an in-depth analysis of trade in goods and services and the performance of the leading players. It also looks at the participation of developing economies and least-developed countries in world trade, the latest developments in regional trade agreements, trade-in value-added terms and digital trade.
In an introduction to the publication, Director-General Roberto Azevêdo says: “At a time of great uncertainty for global trade, the role of trade statistics takes on a renewed significance. Governments need the latest data to take informed decisions and to determine the best direction of trade policy for the benefit of the people they represent. The WTO’s data-gathering role plays a big part in meeting this need.”
Trade Profiles 2019 provides a series of key indicators on merchandise trade and trade in commercial services for 197 economies, including a breakdown of exports and imports for each economy as well as main trading partners. For each profile, the data are presented in a handy two-page format, providing a concise overview of global trade.
