The WTO released on 28 October 2014 new editions of its key statistical publications: International Trade Statistics, Trade Profiles, World Tariff Profiles, Services Profiles, World and Regional Export Profiles etc.
International Trade Statistics 2014 provides a detailed overview of world trade up to the end of 2013, covering merchandise and services trade as well as trade measured in value-added terms. A variety of charts illustrate noteworthy trends in global trade while numerous tables provide more detailed data. We invite you to provide your feedback by filling in the ITS 2014 Survey.
World Tariff Profiles 2014 provides a unique collection of data on tariffs imposed by WTO members and other countries. The first part of the publication provides summary tables showing the average tariffs imposed by individual countries. The second part provides a more detailed table for each country, listing the tariffs it imposes on imports (by product group) as well as the tariffs it faces for exports to major trading partners. The profiles show the maximum tariff rates that are legally “bound” in the WTO and the rates that countries actually apply. This edition of World Trade Profiles has anti-dumping measures as its special topic.
Trade Profiles 2014 provides a snapshot summary of the most relevant indicators on growth, trade and trade policy measures on a country-by-country basis. The data provided include basic economic indicators (such as gross domestic product), trade policy indicators (such as tariffs, import duties, the number of disputes, notifications outstanding and contingency measures in force), merchandise trade flows (broken down by broad product categories and major origins and destinations), services trade flows (with a breakdown by major components) and industrial property indicators.
Services Profiles 2014 provides key statistics on “infrastructure services”, i.e. transportation, telecommunications, finance and insurance, for some 150 economies.
