Merchandise exports to low- and middle-income economies in Sub-Saharan Africa (% of total merchandise exports)

This indicator reflects the extent to which a reporting economy engages in trade with low- and middle-income nations within the Sub-Saharan Africa region, as defined by World Bank classifications. By measuring the share of these exports relative to the economy's total merchandise exports, this metric provides valuable insights into trade relationships, economic dependencies, and the level of integration with emerging markets. Importantly, the data ensures reliability by only being computed when a significant proportion of partner countries report accessible data, thereby enhancing the robustness of the findings. Understanding this share can aid policymakers in identifying opportunities for growth, fostering regional partnerships, and addressing trade imbalances within the global economy. Source:
