Foreign Value Added Share of Gross Exports, 2019

2019, 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, 2019 covers 80 countries. Luxembourg is highest, at 66.33; DR Congo is lowest, at 3.48. The middle country reads 23.72. Against 2018, 80 values changed (28 up, 52 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 2019.

  • 79 distinct values among 80

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 8.24. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 80 countries has every column.
