About this ranking

Value of all goods and other market services received from the rest of the world, at current prices in millions of US dollars. It includes freight, insurance, travel, royalties and other services, and leaves out compensation of employees and investment income. World Bank series, converted from national currency at official annual average exchange rates.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 10 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2016 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
