About this ranking
Goods whose economic ownership passes from non-residents to residents, and services non-residents provide to residents, as a percentage of GDP. World Bank national accounts data, compiled from national statistical offices and central banks and from OECD national accounts files.
Can pass 100% in re-export hubs, because imports are gross while GDP is value added. National accounts basis, so it differs from customs trade totals. For the amount in dollars see imports_goods_services_usd.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
