Export unit value index (2015 = 100)

This index serves as a vital economic barometer, reflecting changes in the unit values of goods exported by various countries, normalized to a base year of 2015. Derived from the comprehensive UNCTAD trade database, it integrates consistent data contributions from countries that meet stringent quality criteria. To enhance timeliness and accuracy, especially for recent periods, UNCTAD employs a robust method that combines reported trade values with estimated averages derived from three-digit classifications under the Standard International Trade Classification. These estimations leverage a blend of UNCTAD's Commodity Price Statistics, alongside information from international and national sources, in order to provide a clearer picture of global trade dynamics and price trends for specific commodities.
