Services profiles 2015

These Services Profiles provide users with statistics on key "infrastructure services", i.e., transportation services, telecommunications, as well as financial and insurance services, for 186 economies. For the first time the Profiles cover all WTO members and most observers. The information is derived from multiple sources, such as national accounts, employment statistics, balance of payments statistics, foreign affiliates' trade in services statistics, foreign direct investment statistics and quantitative indicators largely sourced from international/regional organisations and specialised bodies. The profiles reflect data as contained in the WTO's Integrated Trade Intelligence Portal (I-TIP) services database as of 30 September 2015.
