Export
Exports are goods and services that are produced in one country and sold to buyers in another. Exports, along with imports, make up international trade.Exports are incredibly important to modern economies because they offer people and firms many more markets for their goods. One of the core functions of diplomacy and foreign policy between governments is to foster economic trade, encouraging exports and imports for the benefit of all trading parties.
Export refers to a product or service produced in one country but sold to a buyer abroad. Exports are one of the oldest forms of economic transfer and occur on a large scale between nations. Exporting can increase sales and profits if they reach new markets, and they may even present an opportunity to capture significant global market share.
Export volume index
Export volume indexes are derived from UNCTAD's volume index series and are the ratio of the export value indexes to the corresponding unit value indexes.
Taxes on exports
Export taxes are taxes on goods or services that become payable when the goods leave the economic territory or when the services are delivered to non-residents; they include export duties, profits of export monopolies and taxes resulting from multiple exchange rates.
Export unit value index
Unit-values are defined by: trade value / quantity. These unit-values are divided by the average unit-value of the previous year to obtain elementary unit-value indices, from which outliers are detected and removed.
Exports of goods and services
Exports of goods and services consist of transactions in goods and services (sales, barter, and gifts) from residents to non-residents. Exports of goods occur when economic ownership of goods changes between residents and non-residents. This applies irrespective of corresponding physical movements of goods across frontiers.
