How this figure is calculated

Exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU) ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

  • Exports as a capacity to import Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
  • GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
