Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Exports Share of GDP across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.
Global Range
Values range from 0.72% of GDP (Sudan) to 191.53% of GDP (Luxembourg) — a 266-fold difference across 182 countries.
Regional Patterns
European countries lead with 9 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.
Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 22.57% of GDP to 55.22% of GDP. The overall spread from 0.72% of GDP to 191.53% of GDP reflects significant global variation.
Notable Outliers
The top of the ranking is competitive: Luxembourg and San Marino are separated by only 3%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
