Foreign Value Added Share of Gross Exports, 2003

2003, as OECD’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The foreign value added share of gross exports measures how much of what a country sells abroad was actually made somewhere else — the imported parts, materials and services built into its exports. It is the OECD’s standard measure of how deeply a country is woven into cross-border supply chains.

Foreign Value Added Share of Gross Exports, 2003 covers 80 countries. Luxembourg is highest, at 53.11; Saudi Arabia is lowest, at 5.56. The middle country reads 21.69. Against 2002, 80 values changed (44 up, 36 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from OECD’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2003.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 80 countries has every column.
