WTO launches new data portal

The WTO has launched a new data portal to provide easy access to key databases offering trade statistics and information on WTO members’ trade-related measures.

The new portal allows users to navigate a wide range of WTO databases covering trade in goods, services, dispute settlement, environmental measures, trade-related intellectual property rights, and more, the WTO said in an update on its website today.

One of the databases is the "WTO Stats portal", which allows users to access and download time-series statistics on trade in goods and services on an annual, quarterly, and monthly basis.

It also contains market access indicators providing information on governments' bound, applied, and preferential tariffs as well as non-tariff information and other indicators.

The data portal will be regularly updated to take account of new systems and updates.
