45/ WTO issues new edition of Trade Profiles

26 OCTOBER 2022

The WTO issued today (26 October) the latest edition of Trade Profiles, an annual publication providing key data on merchandise trade and trade in commercial services for 197 economies. Each profile displays a sectoral breakdown of the economy’s exports and imports, its main trading partners and its most traded products and services.

For merchandise trade, top exports and imports are listed for both agricultural and non-agricultural products. For trade in services, data is provided for transport, travel and other commercial services. Foreign affiliate statistics (FATS) and statistics on intellectual property are also provided.

The profiles are available for all WTO members and observers and for other selected economies. With each profile presented in a handy two-page format, the publication provides a concise overview of global trade.

The publication can be downloaded in English, French and Spanish. Printed copies will be available later this month.

Additional data are available through the WTO statistics webpage, the WTO Stats Portal and the WTO Stats Dashboard, a data visualization tool that provides graphical representations of many datasets found in Trade Profiles.
