Foreword

The 2007 edition of “International Trade Statistics” includes significant changes in the design and content of the publication. The new “International Trade Statistics” provides a more user-friendly presentation of statistical tables, and covers new fields, in particular to satisfy the increasing demand for data on international trade in services. Throughout the publication users are guided by highlighted messages and reference material, including explanations on the data in relation to definitions, methodology, and so on.

More detailed data on individual services sectors have been included. This information, based on balance of payments statistics, is also shown by origin and destination of flows for selected economies. For the first time, information on sales of foreign affiliates relating to trade in services (i.e. GATS mode 3, commercial presence) has also been included. However, users should interpret the available information with some caution. Despite recent improvements in international trade in service statistics, quality and worldwide comparability and availability of disaggregated information still remain a concern for trade statisticians. As part of the process of the continuing improvement of the publication, the Secretariat is cooperating with the international statistical community to resolve methodological issues and build appropriate statistical capacities at national level.

Our special effort in the services field does not reduce the statistical coverage of merchandise trade, which under the new design, remains as comprehensive as in previous years. The publication includes five parts. Chapter I describes world trade trends, and is followed by two Chapters focusing on trade in merchandise and trade in commercial services respectively. Each of these three chapters presents detailed analytical tables, and they are introduced with a small textual description highlighting recent trade developments and issues of particular interest for readers. Chapter IV is dedicated to Metadata (sources and definitions of the data) which help better understand the contents of the trade statistics presented in this publication. Finally detailed time series tables are provided in the Appendix tables. This information is also available online at http://www.wto.org/english/res_e/statis_e/statis_e.htm.

I. In 2006, the volume of world merchandise trade grew by 8 per cent while

world gross domestic product recorded a 3.5 per cent increase. This confirms the trend of world merchandise trade growing by twice the annual growth rate of output since 2000.

The strong 2006 increase in the volume of merchan-dise trade is backed by a robust recovery of European exports, which increased by 3 percentage points to 7 per cent. The real merchandise exports of the United States grew above the world average, at 11 per cent, and China’s trade expanded by 22 per cent. Below world average export growth rates were recorded for South and Central America and the Caribbean (2.5 per cent), the Commonwealth of Independent States (6 per cent), and Africa (3 per cent). Exports of the Middle East stagnated in 2006.

In 2006, merchandise exports in volume terms were sustained by robust demand, although patterns differed among regions. Exports from North America and Asia grew faster than imports to the region. Asia’s exports grew by 13 per cent while imports were up 9 per cent. Europe recorded balanced export and import growth of 7 per cent. For South and Central America, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Africa and the Middle East, import growth largely exceeded that of exports. This pattern is linked to more favourable terms of trade due to increases in commodity prices in the past few years.

Since 2000, import growth has been higher than export growth in North America. This trend was shared by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Middle East and Africa which all recorded stronger import than export growth. Import growth was particularly strong in the CIS area during the period 2000 to 2006, where on average imports increased annually more than twice as fast as exports (17 per cent and 8 per cent respectively). While South and Central America’s import and export growth rates were almost balanced, Europe and Asia are the only regions where export growth has exceeded import growth since 2000, for Asia by almost one fifth.

Manufactures were again the most dynamic product group, increasing by 10 per cent in constant prices in 2006. Trade in agricultural products recorded real growth of 6 per cent. Rising prices and mild weather moderated global de-mand growth and slowed the expansion of trade in fuels and mining products to 3 per cent in 2006.

Since the early 1950s, the volume of trade in manufactures has largely outperformed primary products, grow-ing at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, while agriculture, and fuels and mining products grew at 3.5 per cent and 4 per cent respectively.

IDistances are still a barrier. Inter-regional merchandise trade flows between North America, Europe and Asia account for only

23 per cent of world trade. The most prominent growth in 2006 was recorded in Asia’s exports to Europe, which increased by 21 per cent. Intra-regional trade flows of the three regions represent 53 per cent of world merchandise trade and almost two thirds of the total merchandise trade of these regions. Europe’s intra-trade shows the highest share (31 per cent), followed by Asia (14 per cent) and North America (8 per cent). Intra-regional trade for other regions (South and Central America, CIS, Middle East and Africa) account for only 2.5 per cent of their total exports.

The list of major traders appears to be dominated by large economies. In 2006, for example, the smallest 80 per cent of ex-porters accounted for just 10 per cent of world trade (red line).

However, this calculation does not take into account the popu-lation of economies (e.g. China and Tonga are given equal weight.) To better account for differences in population, cumulative shares of economies in world population are plotted against their col-lective shares in world merchandise exports, after sorting them in ascending order by population (blue line). This second curve is not smooth because economies with similar populations (e.g. Singapore and Eritrea, or Italy and Myanmar) may make very different marginal contributions to world trade, but it does suggest that trade in terms of people rather than countries is more evenly distributed. On a per capita basis, small economies contribute more to world trade than their export values suggest, for example, the smallest economies representing 20 percent of the world’s population account for 39 percent of the value of world merchandise exports in 2006.

Asia has the highest share of manufactures in total ex-ports, with more than 80 per cent of the region’s exports stemming from this product group. In contrast, the Middle East, Africa and the CIS are highly dependent on fuels and mining products, with more than two thirds of their export revenues originating from this product group. This pattern of specialization was accentuated with the rise in international commodity prices.

Least-developed countries show a similar structure with almost three quarters of their export revenues originat-ing from primary commodities and only a quarter earned through manufactures (mainly clothing). South and Central America show the highest share of agricultural exports in their total trade.

At current prices, 2006 world merchandise trade increased by 16 per cent while trade in commercial services expanded by 12 per cent. High commodity prices explain the higher growth rate of trade in merchandise. Data for trade in commercial services are derived from balance of payments statistics and mainly re-fer to modes 1 (cross-border), 2 (consumption abroad) and 4 (presence of natural persons). Information on the size of commercial presence (mode 3) is not covered in these «traditional» trade in commercial services statistics. Mode 3 trade can be approximated through the sales of services of foreign affiliates. Available statistics nevertheless indicate that this mode surpasses trade in commercial services in other modes, adding further to the dynamics of world trade in services.

Manufactures dominate the merchandise export structures of Asia, Europe and North America

IThe share of travel in world commercial services exports has constantly been declining in recent years, from 31 per cent in 2000 to 26.6 per cent in 2006. Over this period North America’s share was reduced by over 5 percentage points (from 23.2 to 17.9) whereas Africa gained almost 1.3 points (from 3.0 to 4.3 per cent).

For the first time since 2003, the growth of transportation services was lower than that for trade in other commercial services, but the share of transportation in total commercial services has remained stable since 2000. Other commercial services, which include business services, were the largest contributor to total trade in commercial services, for the first time representing almost half of this trade in 2006.

Europe was the largest exporter of other commercial services with 54 per cent of world exports of this product group (37.4 if intra-European Union trade is excluded), followed by Asia (21.8 per cent) and North America (17.9 per cent). Although in value terms positive growth was recorded, the share of Europe and North America in world trade in other commercial services declined, mainly in favour of Asia and to a lesser extent the CIS.

In 2004, the year for which the latest comprehen-sive data are available, sales of services through for-eign affiliates of United States (US) firms on foreign markets (non-bank majority-owned) reached $490 billion, more than twice as high as conventional serv-ices exports which amounted to $322 billion. From 1996, sales of services of US majority-owned foreign affiliates have consistently exceeded conventional US exports of commercial services according to the US Department of Commerce.

Similar conclusions can be drawn from Australia’s data in 2002-03. Traditional trade in services was surpassed by sales of foreign affiliates by a margin of $18 billion, confirming the increasing importance of this mode of delivery.

Actually, data available for the foreign affiliates of OECD countries in services-producing activities suggest that these global sales are ap-proximately 1.5 times larger than conventional cross-border trade flows (mode 1) measured through the balance of payments. These estimates suggest that GATS mode 3 or commercial presence is an important –if not the dominant– mode of delivery for trade in services (see WTO International Trade Statistics, 2005).

The share of travel continues to decline in commercial services trade

In 2006, export prices of crude petroleum increased by 21 per cent. This, coupled with the 56 per cent surge in prices of other minerals and non-ferrous metals, boosted the value of exports of fuels and mining products by 27 per cent. For the fourth year in a row, this growth was far ahead that of manufactures and agricultural products, which rose by 13 per cent and 11 per cent respectively.

Fuels and mining account for 19 per cent of world merchandise trade in 2006, the highest share since 1986.

Regional trade structures are strongly affected by these product price developments. Fuels and mining exports of Africa expanded by an aver-age annual rate of 19 per cent from 2000 to 2006. Their share in the region’s total exports (68 per cent) gained 10 percentage points during this period. An increasing proportion of Africa’s foreign direct investment inflows ($39bn in 2006) are geared towards the extractive sector. The share of fuels and mining in total exports of South and Central America increased by 8 percentage points (from 35 per cent to 43 per cent). For the Middle East and the CIS, fuels and mining represent respectively 74 per cent and 65 per cent of their total value of merchandise exports.

In 2006, the European Union, the United States and Japan accounted for 35 per cent, 19 per cent and 9 per cent of world imports of fuels respectively. China, the Republic of Korea and India together represented 14 per cent. The above economies purchased 77 per cent of the world supply of fuels in 2006. Imports of China and India increased by an impressive 39 per cent and 42 per cent respectively. Fuels claim 11 per cent of China’s and 38 per cent of India’s total merchandise import bills. Imports of fuels are heavily taxing the foreign exchange earnings of other developing countries such as Côte d’Ivoire (35 per cent of import spending was on fuels), Senegal and Uruguay (28 per cent), Pakistan (26 per cent) and Tanzania (24 per cent).

China is diversifying considerably its sources of fuels supply. Africa and the CIS now represent 24 per cent and 12 per cent of its import needs respectively, while the combined share of these regions was no more than 22 per cent in 2000.

Exports of agricultural products increased by 11 per cent in nominal terms, exceeding the 8 per cent rise in 2005. Food, which represents 80 per cent of agricultural exports, expanded by 10 per cent. This was partly due to a surge in the price of cereals by 21 per cent, the highest level since 1996. This price increase is attributed to poor harvests in major producing countries and an increase in demand from emerging economies. The price of rice, however, slowed down with a 6 per cent increase. The price rise of beverages also decelerated (6 per cent) compared to the 21 per cent peak in 2005. With an average price increase of 10 per cent, exports of non-food agricultural raw material increased by 14 per cent.

At the regional level, Europe (accounting for 46 per cent of world exports) expanded its exports of agricultural products by 9 per cent. Asia, which is the second major supplier (19 per cent), increased its exports by 14 per cent. South and Central America and the CIS fared better than the world average, with 13 per cent and 15 per cent growth respectively.

Excluding the intra-trade, the European Union overtook the United States in 2005 as the leading exporter of agricultural prod-ucts, and retained the top position in 2006. The United States which experienced a below world average performance for the last five years, increased its exports by 12 per cent. Exports of China and Brazil expanded by the same rate (13 percent) in 2006. Canadian and Australian growth was relatively modest (7 per cent and 5 per cent respectively).

World exports of manufactures expanded by 13 per cent in 2006, a higher rate than that of 2005. The relatively energy-intensive production, combined with continued growth in demand help to explain why iron and steel registered the highest growth rates (18 per cent) among manufactures product groups. Textiles, by contrast, which in 2005 was also a lagging sector, again scored the lowest growth rate (7 per cent) in manufactured exports in 2006.

Machinery and transport equipment, the biggest component of manufactures (53 per cent), expanded by 14 per cent. The major trader in this product category was Europe (44 per cent of world exports), which increased its exports by 12 per cent – double the growth rate of 2005. Asia, which accounts for 36 per cent of word exports, accelerated its exports by 16 per cent. In 2006, North America increased its exports by 13 per cent. But with only 3 per cent average annual growth between 2000 and 2006, its market share declined from 24 per cent to 17 per cent.

Office and telecommunication equipment, which represents 18 per cent of manufactured exports, expanded by 13 per cent in 2006. The European Union, the leading exporter of office and telecom equipment expanded its exports by 12 per cent, but this was entirely due to intra-European Union trade, which surged by a remarkable 19 per cent, while extra-European Union exports declined by 2 per cent. Second to the European Union and sup-plying nearly 20 per cent of world exports, China has established a strong position in this market. Excluding intra-European Union trade, China ranks as the first exporter.

The European Union accounts for 36 per cent of world imports of office and telecommunication equipment and records a steadily increasing trade deficit. In 2006, China supplied 15 per cent of the European Union’s import needs and 37 per cent of those of the United States. The United States, the second major importer, maintains a substantial and increasing trade deficit in this product group. In 2006, 34 per cent of the US trade deficit with China could be attributed to this group.

Office and telecom equipment also represent a substantial share in the exports of a number of South East Asian economies, ranging from 55 per cent for the Philippines to 23 per cent for Thailand. Although still significant, in recent years a declining trend can be observed for a number of economies. In 2000, the share in the Philippines’ total exports was 63 per cent. For Malaysia, the share declined from 53 per cent in 2000 to 42 per cent in 2006. The corresponding figures for Chinese Taipei are 39 per cent and 30 per cent.

In the restructuring process of global manufactur-ing, China evolved as a leading importer of integrated circuits and electronic components, while becoming a prominent exporter of office and telecommunica-tion equipment. Expanding by an average annual rate of 34 per cent, China’s share in world imports of integrated circuits increased from 7 per cent in 2000 to 28 per cent in 2006. Integrated circuits now account for 15 per cent of total Chinese imports. In 2006, China recorded a trade deficit of $92.5 billion in this product group. On the other hand, between 2000 and 2006, its exports of office and telecom equipment increased by an average annual rate of 37 per cent1.

1 Chinese data for office and telecom equipment are to be interpreted with caution, as they include the transhipment of products from China to China through Hong Kong, China. The cost reduction motivation of such triangular trade, which amounts to about 9 per cent of China’s total imports, is discussed in the 2005 edition of WTO’s International Trade Statistics. In 2006 the transhipment of office and telecommunication equipment represented 20 per cent of China’s imports of this product category.

Buoyed by commodity price increases, the imports of automo-tive products in the CIS, South and Central American, and African regions expanded by 63 per cent, 29 per cent and 20 per cent respectively in 2006. The European Union accounted for 53 per cent of world exports and 44 per cent of world imports in 2006, and remained the leading trader in automotive products. Extra-European Union imports increased by a significant 18 per cent.

Exports of transport equipment increased by 13 per cent, more than double the 6 per cent growth registered in 2005. Exports of automotive products, representing nearly 70 per cent of the transport equipment category, accelerated to a growth rate of 10 per cent. While the European Union and the United States ex-panded their exports by 11 per cent, Japan recorded a 13 per cent increase, double that of its 2005 performance. The fifth major exporter, the Republic of Korea, increased its exports by 14 per cent. With an average annual growth of 45 per cent of exports between 2000 and 2006, China shows strong signs of success in this market as well. Among the major exporters, only Canada, facing structural problems in the sector and a strong currency, registered a decline in its exports.

World trade in textiles and clothing rose by 10 per cent. Clothing, which accounts for nearly 60 per cent of the combined trade, fared much better, registering a growth rate of 12 per cent, as compared to 7 per cent for textiles. In spite of the quotas imposed by the European Union and the United States between 2000 and 2006, China has gained an additional 12 per cent of the world clothing market and now accounts for 31 per cent of world exports. In 2006 , its exports rose by 29 per cent. China has overtaken the European Union as the major clothing supplier; but the importance of clothing in its total exports is steadily declining, from 14 per cent in 2000 to 10 per cent in 2006.

The European Union increased its exports of textiles by a modest 3 per cent following a 4 per cent decline in 2005. China, on top of the 23 per cent growth recorded in 2005, further expanded its exports by 19 per cent. Between 2000 and 2006 it more than doubled its share in world exports of textiles, from 10 per cent to 22 per cent. The Republic of Korea, on the other hand, lost more than two thirds of its market. With an average annual growth of 9 per cent between 2000 and 2006, Pakistan modestly expanded its market share. The Russian Federation is a growing market for textiles, as growth in imports accelerated by 26 per cent in 2006, following a 25 per cent increase in 2005. With an almost equal position in world exports and imports between 2000 and 2006, Turkey expanded it exports and imports of textiles by 13 per cent and 14 per cent respectively.

In a context of rising energy prices, the value of world transportation services exports rose by 10 per cent to $630 billion in 2006. With exports valued at more than $280 billion, the EU (25) was the leading exporter of transportation services. Extra-EU (25) trade accounted for half of this value. The United States ranked second ($70 billion), followed by Japan ($38 billion). Overall, the three economies accounted for over 60 per cent of world transportation services exports.

Transportation services exports: a highly different pattern

Sea freight transport is the most important component of extra-EU (25) exports of transportation services ($62 billion in 2005). For the United States, air transport is the dominant category. In 2005, air passenger transportation services reached $21 billion and freight $9 billion. Supporting and auxiliary transport services in airports and ports (e.g., cargo handling, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc.) represented 40 per cent of US transportation serv-ices exports. In 2006, their importance increased further, ac-counting for 43 per cent of the economy’s transportation services exports.

World seaborne trade (total goods loaded) has increased sig-nificantly since 2000, reaching a record level of 7.1 billion tons in 2005. The number of international air passengers grew by 5 per cent annually between 2000 and 2005, to 704 million, although the repercussions of September 11, 2001, and of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003 created some difficulties for the air transportation industry.

With 842 million international travellers worldwide (a 5 per cent increase) and their related expenditure1 representing $745 bil-lion (an increase of 9 per cent) in 2006, tourism continues to be a flourishing sector. The expansion of low-cost airlines, notably to cover long-distance destinations, is making international travel affordable to a higher number of people. Between 2000 and 2006, travel exports have grown on average by 8 per cent a year, though their share in total commercial services exports has declined steadily (down to 27 per cent in 2006 from 32 per cent in 2000) due to the boom of trade in other services.

In 2006, the EU (25) countries were the leading travel exporters ($313 billion), although only 30 per cent of receipts involved visitors from outside the EU. The United States ranked second with $107 billion. Although the number of international tourists visiting the United States has recovered to the level of 2000 (51 million), its share of world travel exports in 2006 is significantly lower.

Travel receipts play an important role for many developing economies. Doubling its travel earnings to $34 billion in six years, China has become the third largest travel exporter. The number of international visitors to China was estimated at some 50 million in 2006, up by 60 per cent compared to 2000.

Travel export revenues match agriculture exports in Africa

In 2006, travel exports reached $32 billion in Africa, accounting for half of its total commercial services ex-ports. This share has been constantly rising above the world average rate since 2000. With the number of in-ternational tourists boosted in Egypt and Morocco by 70 per cent and 50 per cent respectively in six years, these countries saw their travel exports reach $8 and $6 billion in 2006. Earnings from international travellers’ expendi-ture in Sub-Saharan African countries have more than doubled compared to 2000. In Tanzania, travel exports have almost tripled. Cape Verde’s emerging tourism sec-tor is enjoying impressive growth, with its travel exports increasing by around 80 per cent in 2006, which is now comparable to the level in the Seychelles.

1 Travel covers all goods and services acquired by international travellers in the host economy, for their own use or to give away, such as accommodation, food, souvenirs, visits to museums, local transportation, etc. It excludes transportation to the host country.

Travel exports’ rising contribution to GDP in Africa

The ratio of travel exports to GDP has grown in many Afri-can countries since 2000. In leading travel exporters such as Egypt and Morocco, it has increased by 3-4 percentage points. In the Seychelles, where its contribution was already very high, it has attained 30 per cent. In Cape Verde, the ratio has in-creased from 8 per cent in 2000 to 19 per cent in 2006.

Exports of “other commercial services” reached $1380 billion in 2006. This category has recorded impressive growth over recent years, doubling in value compared to 2000. At present, other commercial services account for half of total commercial services exported in the world.

In 2006 the EU (25) was the largest exporter of other commercial services ($684 billion, of which almost half were extra-EU(25) exports). The EU accounted for 50 per cent of world exports in this sector, The United States ranks second with $212 billion in 2006. However, compared to 2000, its share in world exports has decreased. Other economies are strengthening their positions as exporters of other com-mercial services. In 2006, India’s exports grew by almost 40 per cent and the Russian Federation’s increased by over 30 per cent.

In 2005, other business services was the largest category (half of world exports of other commercial services), followed by financial services (14 per cent), royalties and licence fees (11 per cent) and computer and informa-tion services (9 per cent).

Between 2000 and 2005 the fastest grow-ing sectors were computer and information services (17 per cent growth), insurance (14 per cent) and other business services (13 per cent).

Almost tripling its exports to $3.4 billion in 2006, Kuwait became an important telecommunications services provider. The country has specialized in mobile communication services and has recorded rap-id growth since 2004. In 2006, Kuwait connected an estimated 27 million mobile subscribers in neighbouring Middle Eastern countries and in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2006, cellular mobile subscribers in the Middle East were estimated at some 67 million. Their number has quadrupled in just 5 years.

After Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. Gulf Coast region in late August 2005, damage reached at least $125 billion, making it the worst natural disaster from a single event in US history. Private insurers and reinsurers paid claims of up to $45 billion for dam-aged or destroyed buildings and offshore oil and gas platforms. Though a local natural catastrophe, Hurricane Katrina’s financial repercussions have spread to a number of economies.

With a high concentration of the leading international insurance and reinsurance companies in the region, Europe made the largest payouts (UK companies alone bearing Kat-rina’s costs to the tune of some $3.6 billion). This resulted in 2005 services trade statistics showing that world exports of insurance services fell by 13 per cent and in particular that EU(25) insurance exports to the United States dropped by 93 per cent. This is mainly due to the way this item is generally estimated (“premiums less claims”). When large claims occur following catastrophic events this estimate does not reflect the actual value of the insurance services that were rendered2.

2 The United States, as well as other economies, follow a different methodology. For more details, see the Metadata, Section II.2.

According to estimates, India recorded computer serv-ices exports worth $15.8 billion in 2005, accounting for around 70 per cent of Asia’s exports of computer and in-formation services. India is a leading country for informa-tion technology (IT) services outsourcing. However, other economies within the region are also emerging as alternative outsourcing destinations.

China’s software industry is expanding. By the end of 2005, there were 12000 software development companies employing nearly one million people. China’s computer and information services exports are at present still relatively low ($3.0 billion in 2006) but at a 40 per cent annual average growth rate since 2003, they are increasing rapidly. Recently the Chinese government launched a project aimed at dou-bling its computer services exports by 2010. In 2006, China became Japan’s biggest software outsourcing site.

Other Asian economies are also actively involved in promoting their IT services outsourcing potential. Malaysia, for example, is now considered, after India and China, the third most attractive site for low-cost IT services outsourcing. The Malaysian information and Communication Technology (ICT) hub created in 1996 now hosts more than 1100 international companies. The country’s computer services exports have more than doubled in 3 years. At the beginning of 2006, Singapore embarked on a similar hub project, which is expected to be operational by 2012.

Other countries outside Asia have also taken up the challenge. Chosen as a base by several European companies, the Russian Federation has seen its computer services exports rise annually by over 60 per cent on average since 2003. In South and Central America, Brazil and Costa Rica are becoming important outsourcing locations for North American firms.

Other business services are among the most dynamic services products. Growing on average by 13 per cent per year since 2000, they reached $595 billion in 2005, accounting for half of the world’s other commercial services exports.

The nature of the services actually traded under “other business services” varies significantly among economies. For extra-EU (25) trade, the category miscellaneous business, professional and technical services is the largest contributor (shown in blue in Chart III.11). It accounted for 74 per cent of extra-EU (25) other business services exports in 20053. A higher share still can be found in Norway (79 per cent). In North America, the United States shows a similar pattern. Business, professional and technical services account for 81 per cent of other business services, where legal, accounting, management, consulting and public relations services is the main category.

Moving to the Far-East Asian economies, merchanting and other trade-related services are the biggest items4. The four leading services exporters in Asia, (Japan, China, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore) accounted for 72 per cent of the region’s exports of other business services exports in 2005.

3 Architectural and engineering, research and development as well as legal, accounting, and management services are mainly exported to the United States and to Switzerland.

4 Merchanting takes place when the resident of an economy (merchant) buys a good from a non-resident and subsequently resells it to another non-resident. The value of merchanting is given by the difference between the value of good when acquired and the value of good when resold.

In the Middle East, Israel has recently be-come an attractive destination for Research and Development (R&D) services. In 2006, the country invested 4.5 per cent of its GDP in R&D expenditure, a much higher ratio than in other economies. Many international firms have set up R&D centres in Israel to benefit from the country’s advanced infrastructure and highly-skilled manpower. Israel’s exports of R&D services were estimated at $1.6 bil-lion in 2004.

This Chapter details methods and sources of the statistics used in International Trade Statistics 2007.

1. Composition of geographical and economic groupings

WTO members are frequently referred to as “country”, although some members are not countries in the usual sense of the word but are officially “customs territories”. The definition of geographical and other groupings in this report does not imply an expression of opinion by the Secretariat concerning the status of any country or territory, the delimitation of its frontiers, nor on the rights and obligations of any WTO Member in respect of WTO Agreements. The colours, boundaries, denominations, and classifications in the maps of this publication do not imply, on the part of the WTO, any judgement on the legal or other status of any territory, or any endorsement or acceptance of any boundary.

Throughout this report, South and Central America and the Caribbean is referred to South and Central America; the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, the Republic of Korea and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu are referenced as Bolivarian Rep. of Venezuela; Hong Kong, China; Korea, Republic of; and Taipei, Chinese respectively.

2. Definitions and methods

2.1 Merchandise trade

2.1.1 exports and imports

Two systems of recording merchandise exports and imports are in common use. They are referred to as general trade and special trade and differ mainly in the way warehoused and re-exported goods are treated. General trade figures are larger than the corresponding special trade figures because the latter exclude certain trade flows, such as goods shipped through bonded warehouses.

To the extent possible, total merchandise trade is defined in this report according to the general trade definition. It covers all types of inward and outward movement of goods through a country or territory including movements through customs warehouses and free zones. Goods include all merchandise that either add to or substract from the stock of material resources of a country or territory by entering (imports) or leaving (exports) the country’s economic territory. For further explanations, see United Nations International Trade Statistics, Concepts and Definitions, Series M, N° 52, Revision 2.

Unless otherwise indicated, exports are valued at transaction value, including the cost of transportation and insurance to bring the merchandise to the frontier of the exporting country or territory (f.o.b. valuation). Imports are valued at transaction value plus the cost of transportation and insurance to the frontier of the importing country or territory (c.i.f. valuation).

2.1.2 products

All product groups are defined according to Revision 3 of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC).

2.1.3 World trade network

The world merchandise trade network by region and product from which Appendix tables A2 and A10 are derived is based on export data. The network is constructed in the following way:

First, total merchandise exports from each of the seven regions are aggregated from the individual country or territory figures published in Appendix table A6.

Next, the total merchandise exports of each region are distributed by destination and then by product. The regional and commodity breakdown is based on UNSD Comtrade database, EUROSTAT, national statistics and Secretariat estimates.

During this process, the principal adjustments to the figures are as follows:

(i) Exports of ships to the open registry countries Panama and Liberia are re-allocated from each region’s exports to South and Central America and Africa to “unspecified destinations” (a category not shown separately).

(ii) China’s exports are adjusted to approximate their final destination.

(iii) Exports of non-monetary gold, where known, are included. When they cannot be broken down by destination, they are allocated to “unspecified destinations”.

(iv) South Africa’s trade does not include trade with the former Southern African Customs Union members.

2.1.4 Merchandise trade of selected major traders by product, region and major trading partner (Appendix tables A18 to A28)

These tables are derived from UNSD Comtrade and EUROSTAT. For trade by product, world totals include shipments which have not been distinguished by origin or destination. For trade by region and partner, world totals include goods which have not been specified by product.

The following adjustment has been made to the figures:

Exports of ships to the open registry countries Panama and Liberia are reallocated from each economy’s exports to South and Central America and Africa to “unspecified destinations” (a category not shown separately).

The selection of each economy’s major trading partners is based on a ranking of total trade (exports plus imports) of each economy with their trading partners in 2006 (member States of the EU (25) are counted as one trading partner).

2.1.5 Merchandise trade in balance of payments statistics

Merchandise trade statistics together with other basic statistical systems (such as industrial and transport statistics) provide the foundation for the System of National Accounts (SNA) and the balance of payments (BOP). Merchandise trade statistics are

160

meT

adaT

a

IV

basic to the compilation of the goods account in the balance of payments as structured and defined in the fifth edition of the International Monetary Fund’s Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5).

Goods (merchandise) are defined in the SNA as “physical objects for which a demand exists, over which ownership rights can be established and whose ownership can be transferred from one institutional unit to another by engaging in transactions on markets”. Thus, for the SNA and BOP statistics the recording of transactions should be based on the change of ownership principle.

However, the compilation of international merchandise trade statistics (IMTS) is usually based on customs records which essentially reflect the physical movement of goods across borders, and follow international guidelines on concepts and definitions which do not fully conform to the principles of the SNA and the BPM5.

A number of adjustments has to be made to international merchandise trade statistics before they match the specific requirements of national accounts and balance of payments statistics. For aggregate exports and imports these adjustments are mainly related to coverage, the system of trade, and valuation.

With respect to the coverage of IMTS, transactions in which one or both national boundaries are not crossed (e.g. trade in vessels and aircraft, exports of bunkers, etc.) are not always included in merchandise trade statistics for practical reasons, whereas they should usually be included in BOP statistics.

Also, under BPM5, certain transactions should be excluded from goods and included, at market value, in services; for example, goods under the improvement and repair trade regime should be excluded from IMTS, but they are to be included in the goods account at the value of the repair under the BPM5.

Concerning the system of trade, the IMTS guidelines outline the measurement of trade flows on the basis of (1) the special trade system and (2) the general trade system. Under the special trade system, the customs frontier is regarded as the statistical boundary whereas, under the general system of trade, the national frontier is regarded as the statistical boundary. The BPM5 stresses that measurement for BOP compilation should be based on change of ownership rather than on the general trade system or the special trade system. The general trade system appears however to be a better approximation for measuring change of ownership because it provides broader coverage and the date of change of ownership may be closer to the date goods cross the national frontier than to the date goods clear through customs.

As far as valuation is concerned, the issue that affects most data comparability concerns the point of valuation, namely, whether goods are valued at the importer’s border - that is at the c.i.f. value - or at the f.o.b. value at the exporter’s border. IMTS guidelines recommend the adoption of the c.i.f. valuation for imports whereas BPM5 requires the f.o.b. valuation. Additional adjustments may be made by BOP compilers to conform to the BPM5 requirement for a market price for valuing trade, processing trade, and with respect to currency conversion.

Once adjusted, merchandise trade is recorded in the goods category of the current account, along with services, income, and current transfers. Therefore, within the balance of payments framework transactions in both goods and services are harmonized and provide for comparable statistical series, as in Table I.24. Strictly speaking, it is not correct to aggregate the figures for commercial services and merchandise shown elsewhere in this report.

It should be noted that some economies still apply the concepts of the fourth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual, and thus do not include goods for processing and goods procured in port carriers in the goods account.

2.2 Trade in commercial services

Depending on the location of the supplier and the consumer, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) defines four modes of supply. In addition to the cross-border supply (mode 1), where both the supplier and the consumer remain in their respective home territories, GATS also covers cases where consumers are outside their home territory to consume services (mode 2 – consumption abroad), or cases where service suppliers are in the territory of the consumers to provide their services, whether by establishing affiliates through direct investment abroad (mode 3 – commercial presence), or through the presence of natural persons (mode 4).

A country’s balance of payments, that is the services account, can be used to derive estimates covering trade in commercial services for modes 1,2 and 4. The Balance of Payments does however not include most of the information on the local deliveries of services through foreign affiliates that is required to estimate the size of mode 3. A framework for collecting these data, the “Foreign Affiliates Trade in Services (FATS) statistics”, has been developed and adopted by the international statistical community in 2002. Further information on these “new” statistics is developed below.

2.2.1 Trade in commercial services between residents and non residents of an economy

Exports and imports

Exports (credits or receipts) and imports (debits or payments) of commercial services derived from statistics on international service transactions are included in the balance of payments statistics, in conformity with the concepts, definitions and classification of the fifth (1993) edition of the IMF Balance of Payments Manual.

Definition of commercial services in the balance of payments

In the fifth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual, the current account is subdivided into goods, services (including government services, n.i.e.), income (investment income and compensation of employees), and current transfers. The commercial services category in this report is defined as being equal to services minus government services, n.i.e. Commercial services is further sub-divided into transportation services, travel, and other commercial services.

Transportion services covers sea, air and other including land, internal waterway, space and pipeline transport services that are performed by residents of one economy for those of another, and that involve the carriage of passengers, the movement of goods (freight), rentals (charters) of carriers with crew, and related supporting and auxiliary services.

Travel includes goods and services acquired by personal travellers, for health, education or other purposes, and by business travellers. Unlike other services, travel is not a specific type of service, but an assortment of goods and services consumed by travellers. The most common goods and services covered are lodging, food and beverages, entertainment and transportation (within the economy visited), gifts and souvenirs.

Other commercial services corresponds to the following components defined in BPM5:

(i) communications services includes telecommunications, postal and courier services. Telecommunications services encompasses the transmission of sound, images or other information by telephone, telex, telegram, radio and television cable and broadcasting, satellite, electronic mail, facsimile services etc., including business network services, teleconferencing and support services. It does not include the value of the information transported. Also included are cellular telephone services, Internet backbone services and on-line access services, including provision of access to the Internet;

(ii) construction covers work performed on construction projects and installation by employees of an enterprise in locations outside the territory of the enterprise (the one-year rule to determine residency is to be applied flexibly). In addition goods used by construction companies for their projects are included which implies that the “true” services component tends to be overestimated;

(iii) insurance services covers the provision of various types of insurance to non residents by resident insurance enterprises, and vice versa, for example, freight insurance, direct insurance (e.g. life) and reinsurance;

(iv) financial services covers financial intermediation and auxiliary services provided by banks, stock exchanges, factoring enterprises, credit card enterprises, and other enterprises;

(v) computer and information services is subdivided into computer services (hardware and software related services and data processing services), news agency services (provision of news, photographs, and feature articles to the media), and other information provision services (database services and web search portals);

(vi) royalties and licence fees, covering payments and receipts for the use of intangible non-financial assets and proprietary rights, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial processes, and franchises;

(vii) other business services, comprising trade-related services, operational leasing (rentals), and miscellaneous business, professional and technical services such as legal, accounting, management consulting, public relations services, advertising, market research and public opinion polling, research and development services, architectural, engineering, and other technical services, agricultural, mining and on-site processing; and

(viii) personal, cultural, and recreational services is subdivided into two categories, (i) audiovisual services and (ii) other cultural and recreational services. The first component includes services and fees related to the production of motion pictures, radio and television programmes, and musical recordings. Other personal, cultural, and recreational services includes services such as those associated with museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural, sporting, and recreational activities.

Coverage and comparability

With the implementation of BPM5, the coverage and comparability of services trade data have improved over time, however, given that these improvements have been made gradually, they also resulted in a number of breaks in series and are subject to significant distortions.

First, some countries do not collect statistics for certain service categories. Second, some service transactions are simply not registered. If central bank records are used, situations where no financial intermediaries are employed are not counted. In the case of surveys, the coverage of trading establishments is often incomplete. A particularly serious problem is that services transmitted electronically are frequently unregistered as well as when the transactions take place within multinational corporations. Third, statistics may be reported on a net rather than on a gross basis, often as a result of compensation arrangements such as in rail transport or in communication services. Fourth some services transactions may be difficult to capture. It is often easier for compilers to collect more complete and reliable information on trade in services exports rather than on imports given the large number and diversity of importers compared to that of exporters, e.g. financial services, computer services. Fifth, some particular service transactions may not be classified to the appropriate BPM5 services classification. Methodologies to build estimates for certain service categories may also differ between economies, notably due to the continuing efforts to improve these statistics. Some economies have made progress in the estimation of insurance services to take into account premium supplements and claim volatility (i.e. in the case of catastrophic events). Sixth, the alternate sources used for countries which are not members of the IMF do not necessarily comply with the IMF concepts and definitions. Seventh, misclassification of transactions may lead to an underestimation of commercial services when service transactions are registered as income, transfers or trade in merchandise rather than trade in services or, conversely, to an overestimation of commercial services when transactions pertaining to income, transfers or official transactions are registered in the private service categories.

These distortions may be particularly significant at the detailed level, i.e., for a detailed service category, and may lead to considerable asymmetries between countries’ reported trade flows by origin and destination.

The estimation of world trade by services components has been based on reported economy data as shown in the following table:

First, total trade in commercial services from each of the seven regions is aggregated from the individual economy figures published. The breakdown of these data is then applied to missing countries before aggregating regional and world totals. Tables on major traders are based on reported data only.

Intra-trade of the European Union

The principal source for trade in commercial services are the IMF’s Balance-of-Payments statistics. Intra-EU trade figures have been estimated from statistics included in the New Cronos database, August 2007.

2.2.2 Foreign affiliates trade in services statistics

The new statistical framework on Foreign Affiliates Trade in Services (FATS) statistics is developed in the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services. The acronym FATS is also used for “foreign affiliates statistics”. Both refer to the same statistical framework, the former focusing on services trade. It analyses the universe of foreign affiliates for which foreign investors own more than 50 per cent of the voting power or equity interest. Depending on the compiler’s view, one can distinguish inward FATS, that is, activities of foreign-owned affiliates in the compiling economy, or, outward FATS, that is, foreign affiliates of the compiling economy active abroad. Variables such as sales, value added, number of employees, etc. are used to describe the affiliates’ activities. These variables are broken down by country of origin or destination of investments and also by type of primary activity. Australia and the United States also provide a breakdown of sales into total goods and total services products. FATS statistics are currently available mainly for OECD and a small number of non-OECD economies, however, given the recent development of these statistics, comparability and coverage of individual economy data may not always be complete. Availability of detailed data and long-time series varies considerably between economies. From a GATS perspective, the size of mode 3 in a given country can be approximated through the sales of foreign-owned affiliates.

2.3 Other definitions and methods

2.3.1. Annual changes

Throughout this report, average annual percentage changes are analogous to compound interest rates. In calculating the average annual rate of change between 2000 and 2005, for example, data for calendar year 2000 were taken as the starting point, and data for calendar year 2005 as the end point.

2.3.2 prices

Commodity price movements are primarily described by indices largely based on spot market prices, and therefore exclude transactions governed by longer-term contracts. Price indices for such commodities as food, beverages, agricultural raw materials, minerals, non-ferrous metals, fertilizers and crude petroleum are obtained from IMF International Financial Statistics. Aggregates for all primary commodities and for non-fuel primary commodities are calculated using IMF weights (Appendix table A29).

Export and import prices by commodity group of Germany, Japan and the United States are sourced from national statistics. Aggregates are calculated by weighting the countries’ price indices with the respective export and import values of the previous year (Appendix tables A30 and A31).

2.3.3 World merchandise trade indices

The volume and unit value indices are taken from a range of different international and national sources. The reported volume and unit value indices may not always be available for the most recent years or may differ in product coverage from the corresponding value indices.

Aggregation of the indices to obtain a world total is a two-tier process. First, export and import unit values from national and international sources are completed with Secretariat estimates for missing data. They are then aggregated to obtain regional totals. The volume index for each region is obtained by dividing the respective trade value index for each region by the corresponding regional unit value index.

Second, to obtain the total world merchandise volume index, regional unit value indices are aggregated and the world trade value is deflated by the world unit value index. Throughout the aggregation process trade values of the previous year are used as weights.

2.3.4 World production

Production of agriculture (including hunting, forestry and fish), mining and manufacturing is defined according to major Categories A, B, C and D of the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities Revision 3 (ISIC). World production in these sectors is estimated by combining production indices published by the FAO, OECD, UNIDO and UNSD. The world index is derived through aggregation of the three sectors by using value added shares in 2000 as weights.

2.3.5 World gross domestic product

World GDP growth is estimated as a weighted average of economies’ real GDP growth. The weights used are shares of economies in 2000 world nominal GDP converted to dollars at market exchange rates.

The use of official exchange rates which are not market-based for some major economies, together with the fluctuations of the United States dollar vis-à-vis major currencies can have a significant impact on the weighting pattern. The increasing use of weights based on purchasing power parities (PPP) by other international organizations is meant to attenuate “anomalies” linked to these factors. In a period of widely diverging growth rates among countries and regions, the choice of the weighting pattern can have a marked influence on the global growth estimate. For the 2000-2005 period, global growth estimates based on PPP-weights indicate a significantly faster growth than estimates using weights based on GDP data measured at market exchange rates. This is because of differences in the two weighting patterns. Relative to weights based on GDP at market exchange rates, PPP weights are low for the transition economies - especially the successor States of the former USSR with a poor growth record, and high for major developing countries (in particular China) with above average growth.

2.3.6 re-exports and reimports

Under the system of general trade adopted in this report, re-exports are included in total merchandise trade (see Section II.1).

However, in the case of Hong Kong, China, the magnitude of its re-exports (amounting in 2006 to $ 300 billion), if included in regional or world aggregates, would adversely affect the analytical value of the statistics by introducing a significant element of double counting. Therefore, Hong Kong, China’s re-exports are excluded from the world and from Asia aggregates (unless otherwise indicated); only Hong Kong, China’s domestic exports and retained imports are included in the totals. For this reason, the figures for world exports and for exports of Asia shown in Appendix tables A2 and A10 are smaller than those in Appendix table A6. When retained imports are not published, an approximation is derived by subtracting the value of re-exports from the value of imports. The resulting figure will, however, under-estimate the value of retained imports by the amount of the re-export margin.

China reports imports from China (reimports), a trade flow which accounted for 9.3 per cent (73.3 billion US dollars) of its total merchandise imports in 2006. These imports consist of products which have been produced in China and thereafter temporarily exported. The product structure of China’s imports from China indicates that in absolute terms office and telecom equipment is the largest category ($ 39.2 billion) in this particular trade flow. The share of re-imports is particularly large in the imports of telecommunications equipment (40.8 per cent), EDP and office equipment (32.6 per cent), electrical machinery (23.6 per cent) and in textiles (19.6 per cent). [Further information on these imports is provided in Box xx of the International Trade Statistics 2006].

3. Specific notes for selected economies

3.1 Merchandise trade statistics of the European Union

Beginning with the 2002 report, EU data compiled according to national statistical practices have been replaced, starting 1993, with data compiled by Eurostat in accordance with EU legislation. The concepts and definitions adopted by the EU are in line with the United Nations’ International Trade Statistics, Concepts and Definitions, Series M, N° 52, Revision 2. As a result, the conceptual differences between EU member states’ data have been substantially reduced. Moreover, for the EU as a whole, Eurostat data are more timely than the previous source, thus reducing substantially the amount of estimation included in the EU aggregate.

Since January 1993, statistics on the trade between the member States of the EU have been collected through the “Intrastat” system (see GATT 1994, International Trade Trends and Statistics). The coverage of this system, which relies on reports submitted by firms for transactions above a minimum value, is not as wide as the previous one, which was based on customs declarations. This is particularly noticeable on the import side. For example, prior to the adoption of the Intrastat system, reported intra-EU imports (c.i.f.) closely matched reported intra-EU exports (f.o.b.). However, from 1993 onwards, the reported value of intra-EU imports has been on average around 3 per cent lower than the value of intra-EU exports, indicating a substantial under-reporting of intra-EU imports. As a result of this inconsistency, the Secretariat has substituted intra-EU exports data for intra-EU imports at the aggregate EU level when estimating regional and world totals. However, this adjustment is not allocated between EU member countries. Hence, the sum of reported imports of individual EU members does not add to the figure for EU imports as a whole. This adjustment is also reflected in the volume estimates for the EU as a whole.

3.2 Egypt’s export processing zone

Egypt’s merchandise trade statistics are based on the special trade system, and exclude processing zone exchanges with the rest of the world. These have increased markedly in recent years. In 2005, processing zone imports from and exports to the rest of the world amounted to $ 5.1 billion and $ 3.8 billion respectively. If Egypt’s merchandise trade data were adjusted accordingly, the size of its exports of manufactures (in particular clothing) would be significantly higher.

3.3 Trade of South Africa with SACU (South African Customs Union)

South Africa’s merchandise exports (and imports) exclude shipments to (from) other SACU members (Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland). Partner statistics indicate that South African shipments amount to 80 percent of these countries total merchandise imports in 2002. This share -most likely - increased thereafter and represents an important trade flow for the African region. If South Africa’s exports would be adjusted for these shipments to SACU members, its total exports would increase by about $7.5 billion in 2006 and intra-African trade would be one fifth higher with intra-SACU trade being the largest intra trade flow for regional trade agreements in Africa.

3.4 Major breaks in data continuity of merchandise trade

Between 1997 and 1998 for the Russian Federation due to the use of Balance of Payments methodology by GOSKOMSTAT starting 1998.

Beginning 2003, Singapore includes merchandise trade with Indonesia.

Between 1994 and 1995 for Ukraine, due to a change in data collection procedures.

Between 1996 and 1997 for the Slovak Republic, and between 1997 and 1998 for Poland, due to the introduction of new arrangements in customs procedures to harmonize with the standards of the European Union.

With respect to the Russian Federation, considerable uncertainty remains about the accuracy of foreign trade statistics, especially as regards imports. A large proportion of the reported data on imports consists of official estimates of inflows of goods which enter the economy without being registered by the customs authorities. Such adjustments to import data accounted for 16 per cent of the officially reported totals in 2006; and, on the export side, for about 1 per cent of total reported exports.

3.5 Trade in insurance services of the United States

In 2003, the United States has revised its methodology for estimating trade in insurance services. The new methodology measures insurance services as premiums less normal claims. Normal claims comprise two components: “regularly occurring claims” that are calculated as an average of all claims paid during the previous 6 years, and a share of “catastrophic claims” that is added-on to “regularly occurring claims” in equal increments over the two decades following their event.

As comprehensive data collection on insurance services started in 1986, the first 6-year average of “regularly occurring claims” could only be calculated for 1992. As a result, time series on U.S. trade in insurance services, and consequently on other commercial services, have been revised back to 1992. To complete the 2003 revision, in 2004 the United States added to insurance services an estimate of premium supplements (or income earned on technical reserves of insurance companies). Insurance companies provide financial protection to policy holders through the pooling of risk and provide financial intermediation services through the investment of reserves. The income is treated as accruing to the policy holders who pay it back to the insurers as supplements to premiums to cover the full cost of insurance. The investment income of insurance companies is not output in and of itself; it is used to impute the value of the implicit component of insurance services attributable to financial intermediation.

3.6 Travel exports and transportation services exports and imports of Japan

In order to enhance the coverage of estimates of travel exports and imports, the Bank of Japan and the Japanese Ministry of Finance reviewed their compilation methodology, notably by including results from a new expenditure survey of foreign travellers as of 2003. This revision had a major impact on the estimates for travel exports. In order to maintain consistent growth rates, data shown in this report for Japanese 1995-2002 travel exports and exports of commercial services include provisional Secretariat estimates referring to the new compilation methodology (i.e. after January 2003) applied by the Japanese authorities and therefore they differ from 1995-2002 figures available elsewhere.

Data shown for transportation services in this report are consistent with revised 1996-2004 data published in 2006 by the Bank of Japan (based on a new methodology for measuring sea freight fares).

3.7 Trade in other commercial services of India

In the course of 2004, the Reserve Bank of India released new data following the introduction of a new reporting system to improve the coverage of Indian trade in services statistics (mainly affecting the item other business services).

3.8 Trade in commercial services of United Arab Emirates

Commercial services trade statistics of United Arab Emirates only cover transportation and travel.

4. Statistical sources

Most frequently used sources for statistics are:

EUROSTAT, Comext and New Cronos databases FAO, FAOSTAT Agriculture database FAO, Production Yearbook IMF, Balance of Payments Statistics IMF, International Financial Statistics IMF, World Economic Outlook database OECD, Main Economic Indicators OECD, Measuring Globalisation: The Role of Multinationals in OECD Economies OECD, Monthly Statistics of International Trade OECD, National Accounts OECD, Statistics on International Trade in Services OECD/IEA, Energy Prices & Taxes UNECE, Economic Survey of Europe UNECLAC, Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean UNIDO, National Accounts Statistics Database UNSD, Comtrade database (for OECD members the UNSD-OECD Joint Trade Data Collection and Processign system) UNSD, International Trade Statistics Yearbook UNSD, Monthly Bulletin of Statistics World Bank, World Development Indicators

These sources are supplemented by national publications and other international databases such as the Global Trade Atlas of Global Trade Information Services, Inc. and Secretariat estimates.

Figures for total merchandise trade are largely derived from IMF, International Financial Statistics. Data on merchandise trade by origin, destination and product are mainly obtained from Eurostat’s Comext database and UNSD’s Comtrade database. Some inconsistencies in the aggregate export and import data for the same country or territory between sources are inevitable. These can be attributed to the use of different systems of recording trade, to the way in which for example IMF and UNSD have converted data expressed in national currencies into dollars, and revisions which can be more readily incorporated in the IMF data.

Statistics on trade in commercial services are mainly drawn from the IMF Balance of Payments Statistics. For economies that do not report to the IMF (e.g., Chinese Taipei) data are drawn from national sources. Estimations for missing data are mainly based on national statistics. Statistics on trade in commercial services by origin and destination are also derived from national statistics.

GDP series in current dollars are mainly derived from the World Bank World Development Indicators, supplemented in some cases with statistics from the IMF World Economic Outlook database.

a Includes significant re-exports.

c Beginning with 1998, figures refer to South Africa only and no longer to the South African Customs Union.

Recent figures for a number of countries and territories have been estimated by the Secretariat.

b Prior to 2004, European Union (25) individual country data do not add up to the reported aggregate due to Eurostat's use of different methodologies for Cyprus, Estonia and Lithuania.

Note: Breaks in the continuity of the value series for particular countries and regional groupings are indicated by an 'I'. They result mainly from changes in the methods of collecting and reporting merchandise trade statistics. It should be noted that the World and Asia totals contain a significant element of double counting due to the use of the general system of recording merchandise trade statistics which includes re-exports.

a Includes significant imports for re-export.

Recent figures for a number of countries and territories have been estimated by the Secretariat.

b Imports are valued f.o.b. See the Metadata on f.o.b. valuation of other economies. c Beginning with 1998, figures refer to South Africa only and no longer to the South African Customs Union. Note: Breaks in the continuity of the value series for particular countries and regional groupings are indicated by an 'I'. They result mainly from changes in the methods of collecting and reporting merchandise trade statistics. It should be noted that the World and Asia totals contain a significant element of double counting due to the use of the general system of recording merchandise trade statistics which includes re-exports.
