Trade in services (% of GDP) by country

What this measures

Total trade in services includes services provided by residents to non-residents plus services provided by non-residents to residents. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
