Notes
Size of circle indicates relative value of each economy’s global imports/exports. Thickness of line shows relative size of economy-to-economy flows. Top 40 flows are identified based on import trade value for the selected sector, with the relevant economies shown on either end of the identified flow. Flows are calculated using only UN Comtrade import data; displayed export values may differ from other visualizations that use both import and export data, as there are asymmetries in UN Comtrade import and export datasets.
