I. WORLD TRADE DEVELOPMENTS 

Merchandise trade and GDP 

Trade slows down due to weakening demand from 

developed economies 

Trade slowed down in 2007 due to weakening demand from developed economies. 

Realignments in exchange rates and fl uctuations in the prices for commodities, 

such as oil and gas, introduced uncertainties into the global markets. Growth 

in world merchandise exports slipped to 6 per cent in real terms in 2007, following 

a year-to-year expansion of world gross domestic product (GDP) of 3.4 per cent. 

The slowdown of trade growth from 8.5 per cent in 2006 is due to a deceleration 

of import demand, mainly in the United States but also in Europe and Japan. 

Trade remained strong in most developing countries. Regions such as Africa, the 

Middle East, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), developing Asia, 

and South and Central America showed sustained growth in their economies in 

2007. While higher commodity prices 

helped to improve the fi nancial situation 

of certain countries, higher energy and 

food prices also increased infl ationary 

pressures worldwide.

For the 2000-2007 period, exports 

on average increased by 2.7 percentage 

points faster than real gross domestic 

product. The only exception was in 

2001, when trade marginally declined 

due to the dot.com bubble burst.

Merchandise trade by product 

Trade in manufactured products is growing faster than trade in agriculture and 

in fuels and mining products 

Exports of manufactured products expanded by 7.5 per cent in volume terms in 2007, maintaining its lead over both agriculture 

and fuels and mining products, which grew by 5 per cent and 3 per cent respectively. The deceleration in trade in manufactured 

products from the 10 per cent level achieved in 2006 is partly due to the slowdown of activity in major importing economies.

13.5 per cent in 2007, but North American and European 

exports increased by only 4.5 per cent and 4 per 

cent respectively, almost half their 2006 rates. OPEC 

production, which declined in 2007, contributed to the 

stagnant volumes of fuels and mining exports from the 

Middle East. Crude oil exports from Africa grew by 4.5 

per cent, much higher than the 1.5 per cent increases in 

2005 and 2006. The CIS increased its exports of fuels 

and mining products by 7 per cent, the highest growth 

of all regions.

cent, a rate unmatched since 2000. Exports from North 

America, the third-largest supplier, rose by 17 per cent. 

Its share of world trade has been progressively declining, from 21 per cent in 2000 to 16 per cent in 2007, due to the below world 

average export growth during this period (6 per cent against 11 per cent for the world). South and Central America registered its 

highest growth rate since 2000 (23.4 per cent). 

Prices of fuels and mining products increased by 11 per cent in 2007, rising by less than half as much as in 2006. As a 

result, the value of world exports rose by 15 per cent, the lowest rate since 2003. Growth decelerated in all regions apart from 

the CIS, which increased its exports by 19 per cent. The slowdown in the price rises of minerals and non-ferrous metals (from 56 

per cent in 2006 to 17.5 per cent in 2007) affected particularly non-fuel mining exports in South and Central American (whose 

growth declined from 55 per cent in 2006 to 20 per cent in 2007). Fuel exports from the Middle East to its most important trading 

partner, Asia (65 per cent of total exports), increased by 13 per cent, compared with 28 per cent the previous year. Nevertheless, 

demand from China and India remained strong, with imports increasing by 26 per cent. 

With an estimated 7 per cent increase in average prices in 2007 and continuous expansion in volumes traded, the value of 

world exports of manufactured products rose by 15 per cent. Europe increased its exports by 16.3 per cent, an acceleration 

similar to 2005 and 2006. Asia maintained nearly the same level of growth as in 2006 (15.7 per cent). North America registered 

the lowest growth (8.5 per cent). The CIS has become a signifi cant destination for exports of manufactured products. Imports 

of manufactured products in the CIS grew by an astounding annual average of 30 per cent from 2000 to 2007. As a result, 3.6 

per cent of European exports of manufactured products (double the 2000 level) now go to the CIS, while Asian exports to the CIS 

achieved an annual average increase of 43 per cent over the same period.

Trade flows within regions account for a higher share of world trade than fl ows between regions. Since 2000, this share has 

fluctuated from between 55 to 58 per cent. Relatively large differences have occurred in the growth of trade within regions: North 

America and Asia show a relative balanced growth between inter- and intra-regional trade; Europe’s intra-trade is growing much 

faster than its external trade due to the deepening of its economic integration while South and Central America, Africa, the Middle 

East and the CIS have recorded higher growth in inter-regional exports than in intra-regional. 


Regional Trade Agreements 

Increasingly different patterns are emerging for Regional Trade Agreements 

The European Union is a highly integrated marketplace, with two-thirds of its trade transactions taking place within the region. 

In 2007, intra-trade accounted for slightly more than half (51 per cent) of the exports of the North American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA). In 2000, this share was 56 per cent. However, as trade with countries outside NAFTA’s area has been growing 

at a somewhat faster pace than intra-NAFTA trade, this share has been declining.

Other trade blocs, such as MERCOSUR, the Andean Community or ASEAN, show a less pronounced integration. MERCOSUR 

countries carry out only around 14 per cent of their trade with other countries in the agreement, the Andean Community only 8 

per cent, and ASEAN a quarter. 

Merchandise trade flows of Brazil, India and China 

Brazil, India and China record strong growth in exports 

Brazil, India and China are illustrative of a clear trend of vigorous growth among a number of emerging economies. While this 

growth implies a growing share of world trade, the share in world exports remains relatively small for most of the emerging economies 

individually. The share of Brazil and India, for example, is still just over 1 per cent, while China’s share is approaching 10

per cent. In 2007, Brazil exported merchandise worth $161 billion. With imports accounting for $127 billion, it recorded a positive 

trade balance of $34 billion. Since 2000, Brazil’s exports have grown at an annual average of 17 per cent. Its main partners 

are in Europe, which receives almost 27 per cent of Brazil’s exports. South and Central America absorbs almost a quarter of its 

exports, North America a fi fth and Asia accounts for slightly above 16 per cent of Brazil’s total merchandise exports.

than 30 per cent of its exports go to Asia, with Europe being the second-largest trading region (23 per cent). The Middle East 

absorbs 17 per cent of India’s merchandise exports while North America receives 15 per cent. In 2007, India’s imports reached 

$217 billion, resulting in a negative trade balance of $72 billion.

Since China joined the WTO in 2001, it has almost quadrupled its exports while imports have more than tripled. In 2007, its 

trade surplus reached $262 billion. Some 45 per cent of its trade receipts stem from Asia, while Europe and North America each 

receive 21 per cent of China’s exports. It should be noted that China Customs Statistics record the country of origin for imports 

and the country of fi nal destination for exports. However, if the country of fi nal destination cannot be ascertained, exports are 

attributed to the last known country of dispatch.

Least-developed countries 

Least-developed countries show an improved trade performance in services 

The participation of Least-Developed Countries (LDCs) in world trade has been increasing over the past fi ve years, albeit 

slowly. In 2006, the ratio of trade to GDP in LDCs continued to grow. For merchandise, LDCs’ share in world trade grew to 1 

per cent due to the higher international prices of commodities. Their share of trade in commercial services amounted to 0.4 

per cent only. However, trade in commercial services is 

increasing in all major sectors, such as transportation, 

travel and other commercial services. Transportation 

services showed steady growth between 2000 and 2006, 

resulting in an average annual increase of 14 per cent. 

Other commercial services show more volatile growth, 

ranging from negative growth in 2001 (-10 per cent) to 

very strong growth of almost 29 per cent in 2006. Travel 

remains the most important revenue source in terms of 

trade in commercial services (51 per cent of total trade), 

advancing by an annual average of 13 per cent between 

2000 and 2006. For many small developing islands, 

such as Comoros or the Maldives, the share of travel in 

total exports of commercial services ranges from 80 to 

over 90 per cent.

Trade in services 

The international supply of services is rapidly increasing 

In 2007 the value of trade in commercial services increased 

at a faster rate (18 per cent) than trade in goods (15 per cent) 

for the first time in five years. This was mainly due to the 

expanding international supply of many services and to the 

increase in transportation prices. While the services sector 

generates approximately two-thirds of the total world value 

added, its share in total trade remains below 19 per cent. In 

2007, the major exporters of commercial services remained 

the European Union, the United States, Japan, China and 

India, which together represented just under two-thirds of 

world exports. In recent years, China and India’s exports of 

commercial services have increased much faster than the 

world average.

Trade in commercial services in 2007 was highly concentrated 

in North America, Asia and Europe (representing 15, 29 and 50 per 

cent respectively of total commercial services trade). Trade within the 

European Union represented more than one-quarter of world trade. 

However, the market share of these regions has either stagnated 

or decreased (in the case of North America) in recent years, while 

other regions – principally the CIS, Africa and the Middle East – have 

increased their share. Although it has the smallest share in terms 

of world trade (2.5 per cent), the CIS has seen its share increase by 

75 per cent since 2000. This is mainly due to trade of Russia and 

Ukraine and also imports of Kazakhstan, which has become the second-largest 

commercial services importer in the CIS after Russia. 

Suppliers of services sometimes decide to establish a commercial 

presence (an affiliate or a branch) in another country to supply 

particular services (this mode of delivering services through affi liates 

is not included in international trade fl ows measured by a country’s 

balance of payments). Foreign direct investment in enterprises active 

in the services sector indicates that at least 50-55 per cent of total 

foreign direct investments are made in this sector. Available information 

shows that in 2005 the use of foreign affi liates remained the 

dominant mode used by major exporters to supply services abroad. 

For instance, Canada and the United States registered high growth 

rates of their sales of services by their majority-owned foreign affi liates 

(excluding most financial intermediation services) between 2003 

and 2005 (10 and 12 per cent average annual growth rate respectively).

II. MERCHANDISE TRADE BY PRODUCT 

Agriculture 

Higher food prices lift the value of 

agricultural trade 

Prices of agricultural products increased by 14 per cent in 2007, compared 

with 7 per cent for manufactured goods and 11 per cent for fuels and mining 

products. This price rise helped to boost the value of agricultural exports, which 

rose by 19 per cent, exceeding the performance of both manufactured goods and 

fuels and mining products. 

Sharply rising prices of cereals and vegetable oils contributed to the 21 per 

cent expansion of food exports. This price hike was due partly to strong demand 

on the part of developing and emerging economies and to a new demand for biofuels. 

The increased cost of fertilizers also contributed to the higher food prices, 

with prices for the most common fertilizers rising between 39 and 68 per cent 

in 2007.

Net food exporters benefi ted from the rise in prices, 

which tended to raise their export revenues. In 2007, 

India and Thailand saw their rice exports grow by a staggering 

62 and 44 per cent respectively. Russia and Brazil 

also experienced impressive growth in food exports (45 

per cent and 23 per cent respectively). 

Some 12 per cent of Africa’s import bill was devoted to 

food in 2007, nearly double the world average. Between 

2002 and 2007, food imports increased sharply in China 

(an average annual growth of (27 per cent), the 12 new 

member states of the European Union (27 per cent) and 

the Commonwealth of Independent States (23 per cent). 

Together, they increased their share of world food imports 

to 9.3 per cent in 2007, from 5.6 per cent in 2002.

Rise of fuel exports decelerates in 2007 

World exports of fuels and mining products increased by 15 per cent in 2007, signifi cantly below the 28 per cent recorded in 

2006. This is mainly due to the lower growth in fuel prices, 11 per cent, compared with 41 per cent in 2005 and 21 per cent in 

2006. This is the fi rst time since 2003 that world exports of fuels increased at a slower pace than other major product groups. 

In volume terms, exports of fuels remained roughly constant in 2007; oil imports of developed economies actually declined by 

nearly 2 per cent. 

China, the Republic of Korea and India are among the top ten importers of fuels. India and China recorded growth of 20 and 

18 per cent respectively in their fuel imports in 2007. African oil exporters were among the main benefi ciaries of this trend (in 

2007, 25 per cent of China’s fuel imports originated from Africa, compared with 18 per cent in 2000). However, high fuel prices 

created serious problems for net fuel-importing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. For a number of countries, more than half of 

37

their foreign exchange earnings from merchandise exports were spent on fuel imports in 2007, and in some cases this share 

exceeded 75 per cent. Tanzania’s share was 79 per cent, followed by Senegal and Burundi, each of which spent 76 per cent of 

export earnings on fuels. 


II 

In 2007, high prices continued for ores and other minerals, with exports growing by 26 per cent. Since 2000, these commodities 

have registered an average annual increase of 31 per cent in value and 29 per cent in price. In particular, the rapid increase 

in imports by large emerging economies contributed to the strong performance of this sector. Over the last fi ve years, for example, 

Chinese imports of ores and other minerals grew by an average annual rate of 55 per cent.

equipment (18 per cent each). In recent years, iron 

and steel has been among the fastest growing export 

products of China, increasing by an annual rate of 73 

per cent since 2002. Consequently, China overtook 

Germany to become the leading exporter of iron and 

steel in 2007, rising from 17th place in the ranking of 

world exporters in 2002.

Office and telecom equipment 

A marked deceleration in trade in 2007 

World trade in offi ce and telecom equipment increased by less than 4 per cent in 2007, in sharp contrast to the 14 per cent 

growth registered in 2006. 

This slowdown is widely spread across the world, 

but it has largely stemmed from measures taken by the 

United Kingdom against the so-called Missing Trader 

Intra-Community (MTIC) fraud. This involved the misappropriation 

of VAT by fraudulent importers within the 

European Union. The fraud tends to be targeted at 

high-value, low-volume goods, such as mobile phones 

and computer components, and considerably infl ates 

trade between EU states in offi ce and telecom equipment. 

It is estimated that trade associated with MTIC 

fraud dropped from $42 billion in 2006 to just $3 billion 

in 2007 in the UK, causing intra-EU trade in offi ce 

and telecom equipment to decline by 12 per cent.

II 

Excluding intra-EU trade fl ows, offi ce and telecom equipment exports were still the least dynamic component of world trade. 

Their global value increased by 8 per cent as all major traders apart from the Republic of Korea and Japan registered a marked 

slowdown compared with their 2006 performance. 

Despite sluggish import growth, the sizeable US and extra-EU trade defi cits expanded again in 2007. US exports even 

decreased, for the fi rst time since 2002. China increased its exports by a remarkable 21 per cent, further developing its role 

as a central hub for global manufacturing of electronic products. At the same time, China remained the fastest growing market 

for Asian economies’ exports of integrated circuits 

and other intermediate products. Japan and most 

Asian information technology (IT) exporters continued 

strengthening their exports of integrated circuits and 

electronic components to the growing Asian market.

China, the Republic of Korea, Mexico and Thailand

in office and telecom equipment due to their specialisation 

in finished products. The Republic of Korea 

and Mexico saw their exports of telecom equipment 

rise by about 25 per cent; Mexico overtook Japan and 

the United States to become the world’s fi fth-largest 

exporter of these products. Thailand benefi ted from 

further specialisation in electronic data processing and

Competition from emerging economies increases 


II 

Driven by an 18 per cent increase in imports of the European Union and strong demand in the emerging and oil-rich economies, 

the value of world exports of automotive products expanded by 16 per cent in 2007. Exports to North America, however, 

almost stagnated (2 per cent) refl ecting the lack of dynamism of this market. Between 2000 and 2007, exports to North America 

increased by an annual average rate of 5 per cent, less than half the world average for the period. As a result, excluding intra-EU 

trade, North America’s share in world imports declined from 64 per cent in 2000 to 44 per cent in 2007. By contrast, the weight 

of emerging countries is increasing. Imports of the CIS, for example, expanded by a remarkable 60 per cent in 2007. Following 

a 76 per cent increase in 2006, car shipments from the European Union to Russia surged by a further 70 per cent in 2007. 

Japanese car exports to Russia also attained remarkable growth of 72 per cent and 54 per cent in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Clothing 

Chinese exporters make inroads in the Commonwealth of Independent States 

In 2007, the value of world exports of clothing increased by 12 per cent, the same rate as in 2006. Excluding China, the 

world’s leading exporter, growth is a more modest 7 per cent. The clothing market’s share in total merchandise exports has progressively 

declined from 3.2 per cent in 2000 to 2.5 per cent in 2007. Nonetheless, the value of China’s clothing exports rose 

by 21 per cent in 2007 to $115 billion, accounting for a third of world exports. This performance follows an even stronger one in 

2006, when the country’s exports grew by 29 per cent. China has also made impressive inroads in the CIS region, with exports 

expanding by an annual average of 41 per cent between 2000 and 2007. Between 2006 and 2007, the value of Chinese exports 

to this region doubled, reaching $13.7 billion. 

40

Extra-EU exports also experienced growth of 19 per cent, recording total trade of $24.8 billion. Between 2000 and 2007, 

exports declined in the Republic of Korea (by an annual average of 13 per cent), Chinese Taipei (12 per cent), the United States 

(9 per cent), the Philippines (7 per cent) and Mexico (7 per cent). In contrast, a number of developing countries continue to 

increase their clothing exports, including Viet Nam (29 per cent rise in 2007), Madagascar (18 per cent), Egypt (23 per cent) 

and Cambodia (13 per cent).

Cut flowers 

Provide niche market for Africa 

A key challenge for developing countries is to diversify their exports in order to reduce the volatility of their export earnings 

and to create new job opportunities. An example of this diversifi cation is the development by some sub-Saharan countries of the 

cut flower industry. Between 2000 and 2007, cut fl ower exports from this region expanded by an average annual rate of 20 per 

cent. Africa’s share of world exports doubled to 8 per cent over this period. Kenya, Africa’s leading exporter of cut fl owers, is the 

fourth-largest world supplier and the largest outside supplier to EU countries. 

From 2003 to 2007, exports of cut fl owers from Ethiopia increased by an average annual rate of 142 per cent. Zambia’s exports 

expanded by an annual rate of 44 per cent between 2000 and 2006. This improvement was helped by factors such as a 

generous incentive package for investors and effi cient transport services. Kenya’s fl ower industry has benefi ted from the improved 

airport infrastructure serving the booming tourism sector.

Export Processing Zones (EPZs) 

South and Central America and the Caribbean face competition for clothing exports 


II 

Labour-intensive mass-production activities tend to be 

based in low-cost labour countries. These activities often 

take place in “export processing zones” (EPZs) of developing 

economies, where imported materials and other intermediate 

goods are processed or assembled for export. For some 

countries, these EPZs account for a substantial proportion of 

their total exports. 

From 1997 to 2007, exports of manufactured goods from 

EPZs in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and some Central 

American countries grew faster than traditional exports in the 

first half of this period but slower in the second half.

China’s entry into the WTO in 2001 and the expiry of the 

Agreement on Textiles and Clothing at the end of 2004 helped 

to increase global competition in the clothing market, which 

was reflected in lower export growth in the EPZs. The affected countries also faced competition from new Asian entrants, such as 

Viet Nam and Cambodia, as well as from traditional competitors, such as India and Bangladesh. As a result, US clothing imports 

from the EPZs of these countries declined at average annual rates of up to 13.4 per cent. Another reason for the decline was the 

higher export revenues from natural resources. 

Some preferential trade agreements (PTAs), such as the US Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act, combined with safeguard 

measures imposed by the European Union and the United States on imports of certain textiles and clothing from China, helped 

some developing countries to maintain or even marginally increase their exports. Those PTAs, which permit the assembly of clothing 

from fabrics sourced from countries other than the United States, have helped small exporters, such as Madagascar and Haiti, 

increase their exports of clothing to the United States by 26 per cent and 15 per cent per year respectively in the last fi ve years. 

Some countries have managed to diversify the activities of their EPZs. The Dominican Republic increased its exports of electrical 

products and jewellery by nearly 9 per cent between 2002 and 2007; while Mexico has shifted to the relatively high-skilled 

sectors of automotive products, televisions and video projectors. Between 2000 and 2007, Mexico’s exports of TV receivers and 

video projectors expanded by 21 per cent per year. Costa Rica also expanded its exports of offi ce and telecommunication equipment 

by an average annual rate of 21 per cent during this period. China, with a 32 per cent share in 2007, is now the major 

destination for Costa Rica’s exports of this product category.

III. TRADE IN COMMERCIAL SERVICES 

BY CATEGORY 

Transportation services 

China records impressive growth 

Exports of world transportation services reached $750 billion in 2007, an 

increase of 19 per cent, following a 9 per cent rise in 2006. Rising fuel prices 

and the inability of some major shipping routes to meet demand continued to 

have a significant effect on transportation costs. According to industry sources 

in the airline industry, fuel costs accounted for 29 per cent of operating expenses 

in 2007 compared with 14 per cent in 2003. In the shipping sector, the cost of 

fuel for a large container ship accounted for 63 per cent of operating expenses, 

compared with 33 per cent three years earlier. 

Sea transport accounted for 43 per cent of exports of world transportation services 

in 2006, while airborne freight accounted for only 7 per cent. World seaborne 

freight services have increased and currently represent more than four-fi fths of sea transport services.

In 2007, the European Union, the United States and 

Japan remained the leading exporters and importers of 

transportation services. China became the fi fth-largest 

world exporter of transportation services, recording $31.3 

billion of exports. The Chinese transportation sector has 

recorded impressive growth since 2000. Exports have 

grown by 36 per cent on average per year, with a peak 

of 49 per cent in 2007. In 2007, Hong Kong China, the 

United States and the European Union were China's main 

export markets. However, China remains a net importer 

of transportation services.

Sea freight represents the vast majority of China's trade in of transportation services (63 per cent of exports and 81 per cent 

of imports). In 2007, sea freight totalled $19.8 billion, a 59 per cent increase. This refl ects the rapid development of China's 

trade infrastructure in recent years. China has six of the top 20 container terminals in the world. By 2006, there were 12 ports 

in China with the capacity to handle over 100 million tons of cargo. Overall, China's handling of freight through its ports increased 

by 14.8 per cent in 2006. The number of containers handled in Chinese ports increased by 23.8 per cent. This represents 

around 20 per cent of world traffi c for container vessels in 2006. 


III 

Travel 

International travel receipts increase, with Australia recording high growth in 

education-related travel 

International travel continued to increase in 2007 despite rising costs and lower disposable income in many developed economies. 

The number of international tourists reached 903 million (an increase of 6.6 per cent) and international travel receipts 

totalled $855 billion, a rise of 14 per cent. The leading travel exporters continued to be the European Union and the United States, 

accounting for 57 per cent of total exports. However, the most rapid export and import growth was in Russia and Australia. 

The travel industry is a major component of export diversifi cation for many developing countries. In 2007, travel receipts for 

developing countries reached $285 billion, around 33 per cent of their total exports of commercial services. The least-developed 

countries (LDCs), in particular, are an increasingly attractive destination for international tourists. Tourism in the LDCs has grown 

by an annual average of more than 13 per cent since 2000. 

Australia has become the fourth-largest world exporter 

of travel and the second among Asian countries behind 

China. In 2007 Australia's travel exports grew by 25 

per cent. Education-related travel accounted for 46 per 

cent of the country's total travel exports in 2007, becoming 

the most important service category exported by the 

economy.

In 2007, overseas student enrolments were over 

455,000, a 66 per cent increase compared with 2002. 

Foreign students spent over $10 billion in Australia, of 

which 39 per cent was on tuition fees while the remainder 

was on food, accommodation, local transport and leisure. 

The students are mostly from Asian countries, with China 

and India accounting for 35 per cent of total international 

enrolment.

The EU holds a particularly large share 

“Other commercial services” continues to be the largest component of commercial services exports. Growing by 20 per cent 

in 2007 to $1,685 billion, these services accounted for 51 per cent of the overall total for commercial services. In 2007 the European 

Union accounted for more than half of the total value of other commercial services exported to the world. “Other business 

services” and financial services accounted for 67 per cent of EU exports. The United States continued to be the second-largest 

exporter. However, its share of world exports declined to 15 per cent in 2007 from 20 per cent in 2000. The highest export and 

import growth was recorded by China and Russia. 

118

Construction 

Building infrastructure 

World construction exports totalled $60 billion in 

2006, representing about 4 per cent of other commercial 

services exports. Since 2000, construction exports 

have grown by an annual average of 11 per cent. The 

European Union, Japan, the United States, Russia and 

China account for approximately 80 per cent of world 

construction exports. 

In 2006, growth of exports of construction from the 

European Union and China were below the world average. 

In contrast, Japan recorded growth of 24 per cent, while 

Russia and the United States registered an increase of 

around 40 per cent. Russia's construction exports have 

grown by an annual average of 53 per cent since 2000. 

With exports of $3.5 billion, construction was the second-largest 

exported other commercial service in Russia 

in 2007. Russian construction companies are active in 

building oil production facilities and power plants abroad. 

In 2006, more than one-third of construction work was 

carried out in EU countries, (mainly Germany, Austria and 

Cyprus), Turkey, Japan and Tajikistan.

Japan's construction sector is particularly active in 

the Middle East, undertaking a number of projects in 

the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia where the 

demand for infrastructure, hotels and industrial buildings 

is very high. Asian economies, especially Thailand, Chinese 

Taipei, Indonesia and Viet Nam, represented onethird 

of Japan's construction exports in 2007.

Extra-EU(27) exports are less concentrated. Some 23 per cent are destined for Africa (of which, one-third go to Nigeria) and 

18 per cent to the Middle East. Much of the construction work carried out in Africa and Central Asian countries is related to 

the energy and tourism sectors. Asian economies (mainly China and India) attract 14 per cent of construction undertaken by 

EU construction enterprises. Germany is the leading supplier of construction, accounting on average for over 40 per cent of EU 

exports. 

119

In 2006, Chinese building companies were engaged in Asian and African countries, working on the construction of electric 

power plants, oil pipelines, housing and other infrastructure projects. 

These figures do not take into account the large amount of construction services provided through foreign affi liates. Sales of 

construction in foreign countries by affi liates of U.S. fi rms reached $13.9 billion in 2005. By comparison, the value of construction 

exports in the U.S. Balance of Payments was only $3.8 billion in 2005. Within the European Union, Germany's sales of 

construction through foreign affi liates reached $16.2 billion in 2005, a 12 per cent increase. Sales of construction by the affi liates 

of Japanese construction enterprises established abroad totalled around $4.4 billion in 2004. 


III 

Royalties and licence fees 

Transactions are concentrated in developed economies 

World receipts of royalties and licence fees amounted 

to $155 billion in 2006. This represents about 11 per cent 

of world exports of “other commercial services". World 

receipts have grown by an annual average of 10 per cent 

since 2000. However, in recent years these growth rates 

have been declining, from 29 per cent in 2004 to 12 

per cent in 2005 and 5 per cent in 2006. In 2006, US 

national authorities registered 173,000 patents attributed 

to residents and non-residents. During the same period 

trademarks registered in the United States amounted to 

154,000 while the European Union registered 71,000.

EU receipts rose twice as fast as North America's, 


resulting in North America's share dropping from 54 to 

43 per cent. Nevertheless, in 2006 the major recipient 

of royalties and licence fees remained the United States, followed by the EU(27), Japan, Switzerland, Canada and the Republic 

of Korea, which collectively amassed approximately 95 per cent of world receipts. Three-quarters of transactions were carried 

out between these countries (including intra-EU(27). The largest payments within the EU were made by Ireland, with half going 

to the United States and nearly a third to other EU countries, mainly the Netherlands. 

Business, professional and technical services 

A dynamic sector 

Business, professional and technical services are 

among the most thriving services sectors in developed 

countries. These services range from legal to management 

services, and from architectural to advertising services. 

In 2005 there were 3.7 million enterprises engaged 

in the production of these services in the EU(27), employing 

over 18 million people and generating $1,628 billion in 

turnover and $842 billion in value added, more than 6 per 

cent of GDP. With around $257 billion worth of exports in 

2006, the European Union was the leading world exporter 

of business, professional and technical services. Extra- 

EU (27) exports represented $121 billion. Architectural 

engineering and other technical consultancy services (19

per cent), legal, accounting, management, consulting and public relations services (18 per cent) and research and development 

services (16 per cent) were the largest services sectors exported to extra-EU countries. The United States and Switzerland were 

the main export markets, absorbing more than half of the exports bound for non-EU states. 

The United States is the second-largest exporter of business, professional and technical services, with $61 billion worth of 

exports. In 2006, over 16 million people were employed in this sector in the United States, more than in manufacturing, generating 

$1,414 billion in value added, around 11 per cent of GDP. 

In certain developing economies such as India and Brazil, business, professional and technical services have become one of 

the main export sectors. In 2006, they accounted for 42 per cent of Brazil's total commercial services exports. In 2007, they 

accounted for 45 per cent of Brazil's total commercial services exports, totalling $10 billion. Architectural, engineering and other 

technical consultancy services was the largest sector, followed by legal services. 

Audiovisual services 

EU exports decline 

In 2006, EU exports of audiovisual services decreased 

by 9 per cent. Since 2004, exports have declined by an 

annual average of 8 per cent. 

Within the European Union, the largest exporters of 

audiovisual services are the United Kingdom and France, 

which together account for 41 per cent of EU audiovisual 

services exports. The United Kingdom's receipts from 

these services declined by 7 per cent in 2006, partly due 

to lower receipts for the United Kingdom fi lm industry. 

French exports of audiovisual services lost 32 percentage 

points. Receipts from French fi lms distributed in 

other countries decreased by 15 per cent as audience 

numbers declined.

1. Composition of geographical and economic groupings 

WTO members are frequently referred to as “countries”, although some members are not countries in the usual sense of 

the word but are offi cially “customs territories”. The defi nition 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 the rights 

and obligations of any WTO member in respect of WTO agreements. The colours, boundaries, denominations, and classifi cations 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 as 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 methodology 

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 fi gures are larger than 

the corresponding special trade fi gures because the latter exclude certain trade fl ows, such as goods shipped through bonded 

warehouses. 

To the extent possible, total merchandise trade is defi ned in this report according to the general trade defi nition. 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 Defi nitions, 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 (“free on board” valuation). Imports are valued at transaction 

value plus the cost of transportation and insurance to the frontier of the importing country or territory (“cost, insurance and freight” 

valuation). 

2.1.2 Products 

All product groups are defi ned according to Revision 3 of the Standard International Trade Classifi cation (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 fi gures are as follows: 

METADATA 

IV 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

(iv) 

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 “unspecifi ed destinations” (a category not shown separately). 

China’s exports are adjusted to approximate their fi nal destination. 

Exports of non-monetary gold, where known, are included. When they cannot be broken down by destination, they are 

allocated to “unspecifi ed destinations”. 

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 fi gures: 

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 “unspecifi ed 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 2007 (member States of the EU (27) are counted as one trading partner). 

2.1.5 Merchandise trade and the goods account in balance of payments statistics 

Merchandise trade statistics serve as an input for the compilation of the goods account in the balance of payments (BOP) and 

the rest of the world account in the System of National Accounts (SNA). 

163

The compilation of international merchandise trade statistics (IMTS) relies principally on customs records complemented, as 

appropriate, by additional sources to enhance their coverage (for instance, to include electricity, or trade in vessels and aircrafts). 

These statistics essentially refl ect the physical movement of goods across borders, while National Accounts and BOP statistics 

record transactions that involve change in ownership. 

The goods account in the BOP is generally compiled on the basis of IMTS after they have been adjusted for coverage, timing, 

and valuation. 

Coverage differences between BOP statistics and IMTS concern mainly: 

items such as blueprints, videos, and tapes which are regarded as services within the BOP (hence are excluded from goods) 

whereas they are included in merchandise trade statistics at the value of the material support; 

goods that for practical reasons are excluded from merchandise trade but should in theory be recorded in BOP statistics, 

such as fish and salvage sold abroad by resident vessels, or imports of bunkers and stores acquired abroad for mobile 

equipment operated by residents; 

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; 

Another coverage difference concerns goods that are imported in an economy where they undergo processing operations, 

and are thereafter re-exported. IMTS recommends that these movements be recorded on a gross basis, whereas BPM5 

distinguishes between goods that return to the country of origin (included within the goods account but reported separately) 

and those that are sent to a third economy (such fl ows are considered as trade in general merchandise between the economy 

of origin and final destination, and should be excluded from the goods account of the economy where the processing takes 

place) 

METADATA 

IV 

The physical movement of goods across border measured in IMTS do not necessarily coincide in timing with changes in the 

ownership of goods. BPM5 therefore recommends the application of specifi c adjustments for such cases. 

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 cost, insurance and freight value - or at the free on board value 

at the exporter’s border. IMTS guidelines recommend the adoption of the c.i.f. valuation for imports whereas the fi fth edition of the 

IMF’s Balance of Payments Manual (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. Strictly speaking, it is not correct to aggregate the fi gures 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) defi nes 

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 affi liates 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. 

164

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, defi nitions 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, not included elsewhere), income (investment income and compensation of employees), and current transfers. 

The commercial services category in this report is defi ned as being equal to services minus government services, not included 

elsewhere. Commercial services is further sub-divided into transportation services, travel, and other commercial services. 

Transportation 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 specifi c 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 defi ned 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; 

METADATA

(iii) 

(iv)

(vii) 

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 fl exibly). In addition goods 

used by construction companies for their projects are included which implies that the “true” services component tends to be 

overestimated; 

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; 

financial services covers fi nancial intermediation and auxiliary services provided by banks, stock exchanges, factoring 

enterprises, credit card enterprises, and other enterprises; 

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); 

royalties and licence fees, covering payments and receipts for the use of intangible non-fi nancial assets and proprietary rights, 

such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial processes, and franchises; 

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 fi rst 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. 

165

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 fi nancial 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 diffi cult 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. fi nancial services, computer services. Fifth, some particular 

service transactions may not be classifi ed to the appropriate BPM5 services classifi cation. 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 defi nitions. Seventh, misclassifi cation 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 signifi cant at the detailed level, i.e., for a detailed service category, and may lead to 

considerable asymmetries between countries’ reported trade fl ows by origin and destination. 

METADATA

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 fi gures 

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 fi gures 

have been estimated from statistics included in the New Cronos database, July 2008. 

166

2.2.2 Foreign affiliates trade in services statistics 

The new statistical framework on Foreign Affi liates 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 affi liates statistics”. Both refer to the same statistical 

framework, the former focusing on services trade. It analyses the universe of foreign affi liates 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 affi liates in the compiling economy, or, outward FATS, that is, foreign affi liates 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 affi liates. 

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). 

METADATA 

IV 

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 fi sh), mining and manufacturing is defi ned according to major 

Categories A, B, C and D of the International Standard Industrial Classifi cation 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. 

167

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 fl uctuations of 

the United States dollar vis-à-vis major currencies, can have a signifi cant 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 re-imports 

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

Section II.1). 

METADATA 

IV 

However, in the case of Hong Kong, China, the magnitude of its re-exports (amounting in 2007 to $331 billion), if included 

in regional or world aggregates, would adversely affect the analytical value of the statistics by introducing a signifi cant 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 fi gures 

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 made on the basis of re-export values. 

China reports imports from China (re-imports), a trade fl ow which accounted for 9.0 per cent ($85.8 billion) of its total 

merchandise imports in 2007. 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 offi ce and telecom equipment 

is the largest category ($42.9 billion) in this particular trade fl ow. The share of re-imports is particularly large in the imports of 

telecommunications equipment (37.5 per cent), EDP and offi ce equipment (33.7 per cent), electrical machinery (25.8 per cent) and 

in textiles (20.0 per cent). Further information on these imports is provided in Box 2 of the International Trade Statistics 2005. 

168

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 defi nitions adopted by the EU are in 

line with the United Nations’ International Trade Statistics, Concepts and Defi nitions, 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 fi gure 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 2006, processing zone imports from and exports to the rest of 

the world amounted to $4.6 billion and $4.6 billion respectively. If Egypt’s merchandise trade data were adjusted accordingly, the 

size of its exports of manufactures (in particular clothing) would be signifi cantly higher. 

METADATA 

IV 

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 fl ow for the African 

region. If South Africa’s exports would be adjusted for these shipments to SACU members, its total exports would increase by at 

least $5 billion in 2007 and intra-African trade would be substantially 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 offi cial estimates of infl ows of goods 

which enter the economy without being registered by the customs authorities. Such adjustments to import data accounted for 11 

per cent of the offi cially reported totals in 2007; and, on the export side, for about 1 per cent of total reported exports. 

Merchandise trade fl ows between the European Union member States include trade associated with fraudulent VAT 

declaration, which concerns mainly offi ce and telecommunications equipment. Between 2006 and 2007, intra-EU merchandise 

trade statistics have been particularly affected by a considerable reduction in this fraudulent trade in the United Kingdom.

3.5 Trade in insurance services of the United States 

In 2003, the United States 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 six 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 fi rst six-year average of “regularly occurring 

claims” could only be calculated for 1992. As a result, time series on 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial intermediation. 

3.6 Travel exports and transportation services exports and imports of Japan 

METADATA 

IV 

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. This methodology was reviewed in 2007 based on the 

results of a new survey (International Travelers’ Survey on Expenditures) which are used in the new compilation method to directly 

estimate the amounts spent by travelers to pay for goods and services. This applies to exports and imports data as from 2006. In 

order to maintain consistent growth rates, data shown in this report for Japanese 1995-2005 travel trade and trade in commercial 

services include provisional Secretariat estimates referring to the new compilation methodology (i.e. after January 2006) applied by 

the Japanese authorities and therefore they differ from 1995-2005 fi gures 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. 

3.9 Trade in commercial services of Nigeria 

New data from 2005 compiled on the basis of BPM5 recommendations were released by the Bank of Nigeria in 2007. This 

results in a break in series for Nigerian data in 2005.

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 Processing 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. 

METADATA 

IV 

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. 

Acknowledgements are due to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation 

for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Statistical Offi ce of the European Communities, the United Nations Economic 

Commission for Europe, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, the United Nations Statistics 

Division, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the World Bank 

whose assistance in supplying advance information has greatly facilitated the work of the Secretariat. Acknowledgements are also 

due to national institutions for providing advance statistics. 

Closing date for merchandise trade statistics (Customs basis) and commercial services (Balance of Payments basis) is 15 July 

2008. For foreign affi liates trade in services statistics the closing date is 31 August 2008.

a Includes significant re-exports. 

b Prior to 2004, European Union (27) 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. 

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. 


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. 

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

Note: The figures are affected by the "INTRASTAT" system of recording trade between EU member States. Unspecified products account for 1.4 per cent of total intra-EU trade, and intra-EU imports are underrecorded. 

To compensate for this under-recording, intra-EU exports have been used to obtain total (World) imports. Major trading partners were selected on the basis of 2007 data. For sources and methods, see the

2008 

“International Trade Statistics 2008” offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in 

world trade, covering the details of merchandise trade by product and trade in commercial services by 

category. Each chapter is introduced by a highlights section that identifies the most salient trends in 

the data and illustrates them with numerous charts and maps. There is also a methodological chapter 

that explains essential concepts and definitions used in compiling the statistics, and an appendix with 

detailed data on trade by region up to 2007. 

This year’s edition expands the coverage of merchandise trade, including new tables on exports and 

imports of food and fuels by selected economies. All data used in the publication, as well as additional 

charts not included in the book, can be downloaded from the WTO web site at stat.wto.org. With these 

additions, “International Trade Statistics 2008” will continue to serve as an invaluable reference for 

researchers, policy makers, and anyone interested in international trade.
