List of countries by foreign trade quota
The following list of countries according to foreign trade quota sorts countries according to the sum of exports and imports in relation to gross domestic product . The foreign trade quota is also described in foreign trade theory as the degree of openness and is an economic indicator . The foreign trade quota can be an indicator of the depth of a country's integration into global trade and its vulnerability in the event of an external shock. Because large economies have a larger internal market, their foreign trade quota is often lower than that of small economies.
list
Countries sorted by exports, imports and total trade (foreign trade quota) of goods and services as a proportion of the gross domestic product of the same year. Since the GDP only includes the domestic value added , it can happen that small countries export more than is produced in the country and / or import more than is consumed in the country and the foreign trade quota is over 100%.
All data come from the World Bank .
