New addition to UNCTADstat: Intra-trade of regional and trade groups by product

07 August 2012

This new annual indicator enables users to monitor regional or inter-regional trade integration by measuring the evolution of its relative size compared to total trade.

Different than other similar indicators, it is enhanced by adding the product dimension which provides more detailed information on what kind of products are traded within the group. This information would be more useful and relevant for various sectoral analyses.

The data are available from 1995 to 2011 covering 120 economic/trade groups and 364 product groups.
