UNCTAD Database

What do you need to know about the database?

The UNCTADstat database, managed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), provides comprehensive, globally relevant data on international trade, economic trends, and development statistics. The platform’s primary goal is to offer a clear picture of global trade patterns, investment flows, and economic progress for both developed and developing nations, supporting informed policymaking and research.

Key datasets include information on international trade (goods and services), foreign direct investment, production, trade balance, commodities, and demographic statistics. For instance, the database provides insights into export and import trends across sectors and countries, with further breakdowns by commodity or service type, allowing for precise analysis of trade flows.

UNCTADstat also includes economic indicators such as GDP, national income, and industrial productivity, which help analyze economic growth patterns and income distribution. Additionally, the database covers sustainable development topics like greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and digital economy metrics, supporting analysis of environmental and technological trends within the context of economic development.

The portal offers user-friendly search and filtering options, allowing users to focus on specific countries, regions, or time periods. Data visualization tools are integrated, making it easy to generate charts, tables, and graphs for deeper insights. Data can be exported for further analysis, supporting economists, researchers, and policymakers in global economic studies.
