About the Global Trade Flows Service

The Global Trade Flows Service draws on the firm's forecasts of the world economy, analysing trade flows between 200 country pairs, with additional bilateral flows by product for 33 major economies.

Forecasts take into account factors such as the growth of demand in the destination market and the exporter’s competitiveness. Exports, imports, and trade balances are identified, with historical estimates and forecasts to 2035 for each country relative to all other nations in the databank. For each pair of exporting and importing countries, the service shows forecasts exports, imports, and visible trade balance.

What the service includes

  • Extensive databank. Full country-to-country data for any pair of 200 countries, for example from the United States to the United Kingdom, or from Brazil to Argentina. Annual data and forecasts on bilateral trade flows and trade balances to 2035 for 200 countries, with trade by product for 33 country pairs.
  • Consistent forecasts. Forecasts are produced using our Global Economic Model, the most widely-used forecasting framework. This ensures that all forecasts are consistent across countries, regions, trading blocs, and the world.
  • Regular updates. Quarterly updates (bi-annual for Trade by Product) ensure that the data and forecasts are always up to date and consistent with our latest global economic forecasts.

Software and support

  • Advanced analytical functions. Our web-based databank allows users to quickly build custom queries and view data in tables, dashboards, charts, or maps with full export as an image or to Excel.
