Exports as a share of GDP use gross trade, not just domestic value added. Imported components and re-exports can produce high ratios in small open economies. This is a ratio, not export growth or a stand-alone measure of competitiveness.

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.
The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.
