IMF Direction of Trade Statistics
(Access: SSDS Lab)
The Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS) Database and Browser presents figures on the value of merchandise exports and imports by trade partners as well as area and world aggregates showing trade flows between major areas of the world. The DOTS database provides users with more than 100,000 time series of annual, quarterly, and monthly trade data for approximately 186 countries. Data are available from 1948. Beginning in 1981, non-reported monthly data are estimated following a defined estimation procedure. All figures are presented in U.S. dollars.
The retrieved time series data can be exported to the following file types: Formula One (.vts); Excel 5/95/97 (.xls); Tabbed Text (.txt); and HTML (.htm).
The IGA Library & Data Archive provides access to two Direction of Trade (DOT) databases, one current (1980 to date) and one historical (1948 to 1980).
