The Bank of America Merrill Lynch published this insightful world map which displays each country\u2019s largest export market.\u00a0 The map does not cover exported services, but exported commodities and produced goods.<\/p>\n
The trends in world trade are clear from the colour coding of each classification of export commodity.\u00a0 It is not surprising that most of the Middle East and North Africa are shaded dark blue for exporting oil.\u00a0 From just a glance at the map it would seem that a huge part of the world relies on oil for exports, and highlights the affects that volatility in this market has on the world.<\/p>\n
It is not surprising either that countries in South East Asia, the USA and China export electronic goods, whilst Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal all trade heavily in textiles and apparel.\u00a0 However, India\u2019s largest export market is precious stones, and not what you might expect of exporting mostly textiles or food and drink.\u00a0 Also, Afghanistan\u2019s largest export is opium!<\/p>\n
As to be expected, the majority of Europe\u2019s biggest export market is machinery and transportation.\u00a0 Whilst the UK exports \u2018manufactured goods\u2019 \u2013 classified as machinery and transportation \u2013 most likely referring to the engineering equipment and machinery that the UK manufactures and exports.<\/p>\n
