Yearly data from 1972 to 2024, from the World Bank.
France's taxes on international trade (current LCU) was 40 million in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 18.37% from 49 million in 2014 (2.01% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 40 million | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 47 million | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 49 million | 2014 |
| Highest | 167.69 million | 1972 |
| Lowest | -500,000 | 2003 |
| Average since 2015 | 40.3 million | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 167.69 million | 1972 |
Over five years it is down 14.89% from 47 million in 2019 (3.17% a year on average, compounded). Since 1972 it is down 76.15% from 167.69 million in 1972 (2.72% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 3 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2024, France's taxes on international trade (current LCU) rose 3 million on 2023 (from 37 million to 40 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1989 to 2023), the average change was −3.05 million and a typical year strayed about 39.59 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 91 million in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 109 million in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 24% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, France had the 61st highest value of the 68 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Taxes on international trade are taxes that become payable when goods cross the national or customs frontiers of the economic territory or when transactions in services exchange between residents and non-residents. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
Limitations: For most countries central government finance data have been consolidated into one account, but for others only budgetary central government accounts are available. Countries reporting budgetary data are noted in the country metadata. Because budgetary accounts may not include all central government units (such as social security funds), they usually provide an incomplete picture. In federal states the central government accounts provide an incomplete view of total public finance. Data on government revenue and expense are collected by the IMF through questionnaires to member countries and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
