Notes
- The United Nations reports that the status of borders in this area has not been agreed upon by the parties.
The boundaries and names shown on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by McKinsey & Company. This map is not globally comprehensive and has been stylized to simplify some international borders and omit some smaller islands. Europe 30 is treated as a single trading partner, including trade between individual Europe 30 economies and the rest of the Europe 30 bloc. Instances where the largest trading partner of an economy is self-reported as unspecified, are labeled “no data available.”
