What exports as a share of GDP are

Exports of goods and services as a percentage of GDP (NE.EXP.GNFS.ZS) measure how large foreign sales are relative to domestic output. Latest: 10.97% in 2024.

Small open economies often show high ratios; large continental economies show lower ones. The ratio is not an export growth rate. From 1970 to 2024 (55 years): latest 10.97% (2024), previous year 11.05% (2023); low 5.41% (1971), high 13.64% (2012).

Reading this series

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.

Taiwan uses DGBAS dataset 44218 for 1980–2025: GDP in current US dollars, GDP per person in current US dollars, and annual real GDP growth in percent. These are the source's published annual values. The dollar series use market-exchange-rate values; they are not purchasing-power-parity measures. Taiwan and Liechtenstein are unavailable in the PPP GDP and PPP-per-capita series until a suitable source with verified commercial-reuse permission is available. Missing observations are not zero. DGBAS dataset 44218 does not supply a PPP replacement. Taiwan's population, GNI, GDP deflator, current account and exports are unavailable on this site. A missing series means this publication has no usable observation from an approved source; it does not mean that no official statistics exist.
