Direction of Trade Statistics Online Subscription

Common wisdom holds that as countries become more integrated, they are increasingly influenced by each other's economic development. Some economies are even considered engines of global or regional growth. This new DOTS Online service provides data on the value of merchandise exports and imports between each country and all its trading partners. The database includes: o total bilateral and multilateral exports and imports aggregated at national or regional group level o data for the most recent six quarters and the latest year for 169 countries, and ten quarters and five years for the world and area tables. The user interface includes four views for browsing the database: a table view corresponding to the tables contained within the Direction of Trade Statistics Yearbook; an economic concept view that provides access to similar concepts across countries, to the extent that they exist; a cross-country matrix view; and a search mechanism based on the structure of the time series key.
