Exports (USD billion)
Exports are defined as movable goods produced within the boundaries of one country, which are traded with another country. The sale of these goods generates foreign currency earnings in the country that produces them and boosts its economic growth. The greater the proportion of exports in relation to a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the larger the boost will be to overall growth when overseas demand increases. Demand for exports is subject to economic conditions in foreign countries as well as prices, quality perception and reliability. In addition, a country’s production and flow of exports depend on trade restrictions, such as tariffs or quotas, and on subsidies, both domestically and abroad.
The table below shows the value of exports in U.S. dollar (USD) billions by country for the last five years.
