The WTO issued today (31 October) the 2023 edition of Trade Profiles,
an annual publication providing key data on merchandise trade and trade
in commercial services for 197 economies. Each two-page profile provides
a breakdown of the economy's major exports and imports and its main
trading partners.
For merchandise trade, top exports and imports are broken down by agricultural and non-agricultural categories. For trade in services, data is provided for transport, travel and other commercial services. Statistics on intellectual property, such as patent and trademark applications, are also provided.
The profiles are available for all WTO members and observers as well as for other selected economies, providing a concise overview of global trade.
The publication can be downloaded in English, French and Spanish. Printed copies will be available in November.
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 the data presented in Trade Profiles.
Short-term trade data is also available through the WTO Stats Portal. Direct downloads of annual data on merchandise and commercial services trade may be found here.
