Question: Where can I find foreign trade statistics?
Answer
Foreign trade statistics are on goods and estimates of services shipped from the U.S. to foreign countries.
Go to the Virtual Business Library's Economic and Statistical Information section for links to useful resources including links to the following suggested resources:
UN Comtrade: United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics provides the annual international trade statistics, detailed by commodity and partner country.
IMF Data: Provides access to International financial statistics (IFS), Balance of Payments statistics (BOPS), Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS), and Government Finance Statistics (GFS) database.
