World trade: from where to where are economic flows movig

In this post we are going to analyze the world international trade. We are going to see who are the net exporters, that is countries who export more goods and services that they import, and who are next importers, countries who import more goods and services than they sport.


In the previous picture we can see a global perspective of the current situation:
With a green colour we have the countries with a commercial super habit.

Leading this least we have China with a super habit of 511 Billion dollars, in the second place we have Germany 295 Billion dollars. This two countries together account for more than 40% of the worldwide net exports. In regional terms we can also say that the Asia-pacific region accounts for more than the 50% of the net exports.

On the other side we have the net importers we the ranking being clearly leaded by the United states with a commercial deficit of 734 Billion dollars, which represents more than 40% of the net worldwide imports. Together with the United States the biggest net importers are the UK, India and France, with 170, 119 and 72 Billion dollar deficit each.



In this chart we can observe how the world trade is concentrated in very few actors who are responsible of the majority of it and the rest only represent a very small portion of it.

I hope this little post will help you better understand the flows of services and goods.
