World
Trade Organisation's trade statistics
The WTO provides a wide range
of trade statistics on most countries of the world. This
link takes you to the start page where you will need to
select the country(ies) that you wish to obtain trade
statistics on. It is definitely a good site to visit.
Trade
Map
Trade Map is an online trade
statistics resource - perhaps the most comprehensive
available, as the site enables you to research the trade
partterns of single countries, as well as between countries
and regions in some depth. This site requires registration,
however, and the site is not easy to use and will take
some effort to learn to navigate and to use on your
part. Nevertheless, the statistics available from this
site are without equal.
InfoNation
InfoNation is a UN website
aimed at the learning community, but that provides a
very useful facility whereby you can access a range
of statistics about different countries and regions.
It is also possible to compare the statistics from five
different countries, which is a useful feature. It is
not the easiest site to navigate, however, and you will
need to spend a little time on the site in order to
become familiar with it.
World
Bank - World Development indicators
The site links to a database
of a wide range of development indicators, from GDP
to energy figures. You need to select the country and
indicators you are interested in, but it is an excellent
source of up-to-date information. This is worth a look.
International
Monetary Fund - World Economic Outlook database
The site links to the World
Economic Outlook database, a comprehensive database
covering a wide range of economic and development data.
The site requires you to select the country you want
to investigate as well as the data that you want to
view and when you are finished, it provides you with
a printable report covering all the information you
have selected. It is also possible to compare countries.
Although the site requires some effort, it is an invaluable
source of information.
