UNCTAD's Bilateral FDI Statistics provides up-to-date and systematic FDI data for 206 economies around the world, covering inflows (table 1), outflows (table 2), inward stock (table 3) and outward stock (table 4) by region and economy. Data are in principle collected from national sources. In order to cover the entire world, where data are not available from national sources, data from partner countries (mirror data) as well as from other international organizations have also been used.

This table shows exchange rates for currencies used in over 190 world economies presented in a cross rates layout where countries are presented in both rows and columns. National currency per US dollars exchange rates are used to derive explicit exchange rates for each of the countries presented with regard to any other country. Country series are consistent over time: for example, a conversion was made from national currency to Euro for the Euro Zone economies for all years prior to the adoption of Euro.

The dataset presents the liner shipping bilateral connectivity index (LSBCI), which indicates a country pair's integration level into global liner shipping networks. The LSBCI is an extension of UNCTAD’s country-level Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI) and based on a proper bilateralization transformation.  

This table presents merchandise trade complementarity index which assesses the suitability of preferential trade agreement between two economies given the structure of one potential partners’ exports match the imports of the other potential partner.

The data are also summarized by group of economies, for both reporting economy and trading partner, and by broader product groups.

The dataset provides information on the ownership of the merchant fleet for all countries.
