About this ranking

Sum of exports and imports of goods and services, as a percentage of GDP. World Bank series.

Can exceed 100%, because exports and imports are both counted against GDP, which is only value added. Small open economies with large re-export or transit trade reach several hundred percent.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 11 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2022 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
