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

This indicator reflects the proportion of a nation's total merchandise imports that originate from low- and middle-income economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, as classified by the World Bank. By aggregating imports from this diverse region, the metric illustrates the extent to which specific economies engage in trade with these developing markets. The percentage is calculated only when sufficient data from at least half of the economies within this category are available, ensuring reliability. Insights drawn from this statistic can inform policymakers and businesses about dependency on African markets, potential economic shifts, and opportunities for enhancing trade relations, all of which are pivotal in fostering economic growth and regional cooperation.
