This indicator measures the percentage change in the total value of goods and services sold by domestic producers to foreign buyers compared to the same month in the previous year. It is a critical component of a nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and reflects the global competitiveness of its industries. High export growth suggests strong international demand and can lead to increased domestic production and employment.
The value is calculated by aggregating the total monetary value of all goods and services cleared for export during the period and comparing it to the same period 12 months prior. Data is typically sourced from customs declarations and trade invoices.
