Foreword

The secretariat of the Economic and Social Commission for


Western Asia (ESCWA) is pleased to present the twenty first issue of
the External Trade Bulletin of the ESCWA Region.

)(
.

The Bulletin includes data and statistical indicators on the


international trade in goods of ESCWA member countries, based
primarily on national sources, as well as from secondary sources where
appropriate.

The External Trade Bulletin of the ESCWA Region aims to


provide complete, detailed international merchandise trade data on
ESCWA member countries for the users of such statistics, including
planners and researchers at the national, regional and international
level, to assist them to meet their needs in this area of statistics.





.
:

The Bulletin is divided into three parts:


Part I includes summary tables on the trends of overall trade in
the region, its annual growth and its share of total world trade. It also
includes a set of indicators on the share of external trade of the gross
domestic product (GDP) of ESCWA member countries, and itemizes
the total imports, exports and trade balance of these countries.


.


.

Part II presents the values of intraregional trade in the ESCWA


region in a series of tables that show the importance of intraregional
trade as part of total world trade, identifying the trade network within
the region and providing a concise reflection of the structure of
intraregional trade according to the main sections of the Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System).
Trade in crude oil has been excluded from the data in this part in order
to show the structure of intraregional trade in non-oil merchandise.




.
.

viii

Part III provides data on the trends of foreign trade of ESCWA


member countries, disaggregated by country and region, during the
period 2007-2011. Iraq is not included in these country tables, due to
the unavailability of detailed data on its foreign trade. The data in this
part cover the value of imports and exports of ESCWA member
countries, by main countries and economic groupings, as employed by
the United Nations Statistics Division and other international
organizations.

General notes

Part I.

( )

Summary of the external trade statistics of ESCWA


member countries

Tables I.1 to I.8 touch upon trade in crude oil and oil products.

. - -

Tables I.1 and I.2 show the share of the ESCWA region in total
world trade, and annual trade growth rates for ESCWA member
countries, respectively. In both tables, ESCWA member countries are
divided into two groups: major oil exporting countries and other
countries.

- -
.
:
.

Following the definitions of the relevant international sources,


total world trade is being defined in this bulletin as the sum of exports
of all countries in the world. Identified in this manner, world exports
would equal to world imports after deducting shipping and insurance
charges. Total ESCWA trade is defined as exports of member
countries added to their imports and deducting intraregional imports, as
that represents the regions net contribution to world trade.



.
.

.

Tables I.3 and I.4 include a set of indicators related to the imports
and exports value of ESCWA member countries, the share of their
external trade in the gross domestic product (GDP), and total trade per
capita.

- -

.

ix

Trade annual growth rates for the periods 1991-2001 and 20012011 are calculated using exponential trend functions.

- -

Tables I.7 and I.8 show the percentage share of import and export
values for each ESCWA member country in the total value of world
imports and exports, by the sections of the Harmonized System.

- -

.( )

Part II. Intraregional trade of ESCWA member countries

All tables in part II exclude crude oil unless otherwise indicated in


the footnotes.

Table II.3 and II.4 show matrices of intraregional values of the


imports and exports of ESCWA member countries, by those countries
and partners on which data are available.

- -
.

Tables II.7 should be interpreted with care when used to obtain


trade balances between ESCWA member countries, as the available
statistics may not reflect the true situation. Certain member countries
utilize the general trade system to record their international trade
statistics, while others use a special system.

-

.

.

Part III. Trends of the foreign trade of ESCWA member countries

The partners of ESCWA member countries in foreign trade in


goods are classified as developed and developing economies,
distributed over the five continents (Africa, America, Asia, Europe and
Oceania).


:
. : .

Crude oil values are included as a separate item in the world


aggregate, in order to reflect the share of oil in the imports and exports
of ESCWA member country. This is due to the fact that very often
detailed data on this commodity are not available.

Some differences may be found between statistics on the value of


overall imports and exports in tables I.5 and I.6, statistics contained in
tables I.7, I.8 and III.1 to III.13. This may be attributed to the nondistribution of crude oil import/export values or re-export values by the
Harmonized System sections to different countries and economic
blocs; to the non-distribution of import/export values of free zones and
non-monetary gold; or simply to differences in approximation.

Part I
SUMMARY OF THE EXTERNAL TRADE STATISTICS OF ESCWA MEMBER COUNTRIES

Introduction
Global trade performance continued to improve during 2011, in
line with the 2010 trend but at a slower pace. This was due to the 2009
plunge in both the global economic and trade performance, which
suffered negative growth for the first time since the beginning of the
new millennium. In 2011 as well, total world exports reached US$17.8
trillion with a percentage increase of 19.4 per cent in nominal terms,
despite the complications of the new crises and natural disasters that
affected many parts of the globe, such as the Tsunami and the nuclear
incident in Japan, the continuing impact of the world financial crisis,
the deepening of the sovereign debt crisis in parts of the European
Union, in addition to the developing Arab uprisings. The net impact of
the said crises was materialized in a shrink in global demand. In real
terms, recent World Trade Organization statistics show a 5 per cent
growth rate in world exports during 2011, that is at a growth decrease
from the 13.8 per cent real increase in 2010 that was remarkably driven
by stronger demand.


.

.




.
.


.

In 2011, the Arab region generated large trade surpluses, as a


result of the continuous increase in oil prices, which reached US$107.5
per barrel against US$77.5 in 2010. Total ESCWA trade amounted to
US$1.6 trillion in 2011, compared to US$1.2 trillion in 2010,
surpassing, for the first time, the 2008 peak of US$1.4 trillion. At a
later stage, ESCWAs share of global trade increased from 8.3 per cent
in 2010 to 9.1 per cent in 2011. On the exports side, ESCWAs
exports increased by US$304 million with an increase rate of 39.4
per cent, while the increase in its imports was US$92.2 billion, at the
rate of 17.3 per cent during the same year. The exports of the Arab
region, rather than its imports, thus continue to be the engine of the
growth of its trade (table (1-1)).

) ).((-

The highest nominal increase of exports during 2011 occurred in


Kuwait whose exports grew by 64.9 per cent, followed by Qatar 52.8
per cent, Iraq 51.8 per cent, Saudi Arabia 45.2 per cent, Bahrain 39.6
per cent and both Palestine and United Arab Emirates 31.9 per cent
each. Syrian Arab Republic and Sudan suffered negative exports
growth during 2011 as their exports shrank by 22.9 and 14.1 per cent
respectively, while Lebanon showed no change. On the other hand,
Iraq claimed the highest increase rate of its imports by 28.5 per cent
during 2011, followed by Saudi Arabia with 23.1 per cent, United Arab
Emirates 22.8 per cent and Oman 19.4 per cent. Imports of the Syrian
Arab Republic, Sudan and Qatar decreased by 22.2, 5.7 and 3.9
per cent respectively during 2011 as shown in table (1-4).

) ).((-

The share of ESCWAs main oil producing countries (Iraq,


)Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
amounted in 2011 to 91.30 per cent of the ESCWA regions total
exports, while their share of the regions total imports amounted to 73
per cent. These countries enjoyed surpluses in their balance of
payments in 2011 exceeding US$517 billion, compared to US$298
billion during 2010. The regions more diversified economies, on the
other hand, did not achieve any such surpluses due to their chronic
trade deficits such as Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syrian Arab Republic
and Yemen (table (1-4)).

Table (1-3) presents selective indicators of international trade for


the ESCWA member countries, which show the high dependence of
the economies of the majority of these countries on international trade.
The main oil producing countries exhibit the highest ratios of
dependency, especially the ratios of international trade to their gross
domestic product (GDP), in comparison with the more diversified
economies. Generally speaking, the ratio of imports to GDP reaches
the lowest of 13 per cent to a high of 64 per cent in Qatar and the
United Arab Emirates, respectively, while the ratio of exports to GDP
fluctuates between 61 and 78 per cent in Iraq and United Arab
Emirates, which indicates that around two thirds of the total GDP of
this group of countries goes to exports. The more diversified
economies exhibit far lower exports to GDP ratios that reached lowest
level of 8 per cent in Palestine and highest of 27 per cent in Jordan.
In 2011, the Sudan recorded the lowest ratio of imports to GDP at 14
per cent, while Jordan recorded the highest ratio of 65 per cent (table
(1-3)).

Part II
INTRAREGIONAL TRADE OF ESCWA MEMBER COUNTRIES

39

40

Introduction
Global trade statistics for the year 2011 which are present in this
bulletin underline the continued improvement that started in 2010 in
the performance of non-oil intraregional trade in the ESCWA region,
in all member countries on which data are available. Table (2-1)
shows that the intraregional imports of those countries have increased
by US$10 billion, at a rate of 23 per cent above the 2010 levels.




( -) .

.

Similarly, in 2011, the ratio of intraregional trade to total trade in


the ESCWA region increased largely compared to the situation in 2010
table (2-1). The intraregional imports of some countries like Lebanon,
Jordan, Oman and Yemen had performed above the pre-2008 levels
and therefore managed to alleviate the negative impact of the global
financial crisis that led in 2009 to an unprecedented shrink in both
global and regional trade.


.( - )


.

As for non-oil intraregional exports, compared to the total exports


of countries for which data were available for 2011, their growth was
less significant than in other regions. Intraregional exports grew by 6.3
per cent and amounted to US$42 billion compared to US$39.5 billion
in 2010 (table (2-1)).



.

.((-) )

In the area of non-oil exports, the most integrated economy in the


ECWA region was Bahrain. The share of its intraregional exports in
total exports reached about 60 per cent, followed by Jordan (43.2
per cent) and Yemen (33.3 per cent). Conversely, and due to the lack
of 2011 data, it was noted that in 2010, Kuwait and Palestine were the
least integrated, as their shares of intraregional exports to total exports
was 7.3 per cent and 10.2 per cent respectively, followed by Qatar
(12 per cent).

In comparison with the performance of non-oil intraregional trade


in 2010, statistics available by the issue time of this bulletin indicate
that the share of intraregional imports to total imports increased in
most ESCWA member countries in 2011, except in the United Arab
Emirates and Yemen where it remained the same. As for the value of
intraregional imports, the United Arab Emirates continued the lead
with US$12.6 billion, followed by Saudi Arabia (about US$12.2
billion) and Oman (about 8.2 billion). In 2011, the ESCWA member
country in which the least value of intraregional imports was recorded
was Bahrain (about US$1.5 billion) (table (2-1)).

.((-)

With respect to non-oil intraregional exports, the available


statistics for 2011 point to the prevalence of different trends in the
region. While the ratio of intraregional exports to total exports
decreased in most ESCWA member countries for which data were
available, it remained the same in Bahrain (60 per cent) and Egypt
(25 per cent). Moreover, the value of intraregional exports in absolute
terms increased in most member countries, with the exception of
Lebanon, which suffered a visible decrease in both its interregional
exports and their share of the countrys total exports. The United Arab
Emirates and Yemen suffered a limited retraction in both values as
well. Nevertheless, the highest value of intraregional exports was
recorded by the United Arab Emirates (US$15.2 billion) followed by
Qatar (US$7.2 billion) and Egypt (US$7 billion).


.

.( ) ( )



.
( )
.( ) ( )

Table (2-2) indicates that the lowest intraregional exports in 2011


were observed in Lebanon (US$1.5 billion) and Yemen (US$0.8). As
for Qatar, Oman and Jordan, the drop in the share of intraregional
exports to total exports was not due merely to a loss in the value of
such exports but rather to the larger increase in their total exports and
with other regions. Data were not available for 2011 to describe the
performance of Iraq, Kuwait, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan and
the Syrian Arab Republic.
