Services Exports, 2016

2016, as UNCTAD’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Services exports are what a country earns from selling services to the rest of the world — visitors' spending, shipping and air transport, finance and insurance, software and telecoms, consulting and royalties — shown as a share of GDP so that economies of every size can be compared. It is the half of trade that goods statistics leave out.

Services Exports, 2016 covers 203 countries on 2 measures. Luxembourg is highest, at 151.628; Libya is lowest, at 0.171. The middle country reads 9.704. Against 2015, 203 values changed (104 up, 99 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2026 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 2016.

  • 197 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
