Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 10.38 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 17.89 in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2013 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 15% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Import unit value indices come from UNCTAD's trade database. Unit value indices are based on data reported by countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality controls, supplemented by UNCTAD’s estimates using the previous year’s trade values at the Standard International Trade Classification three-digit level as weights. To improve data coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product classification of the Standard International Trade Classification revision 3 using UNCTAD’s Commodity Price Statistics, international and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates. This indicator is an index series where 2015=100.
