How this figure is calculated

Value of imported goods and services divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Value of imported goods and services ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

  • Value of imported goods and services National statistical organizations and central banks, OECD national accounts, and World Bank staff estimates (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
  • 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.
