Data Insights provides timely analysis aligned with the latest UNCTADstat statistics. They are organized around six key themes:
- International trade
- Economy, investment and finance
- Maritime transport
- Environment
- Digital economy and technology
- Population and inclusiveness
Data Insights presents concise summaries that highlight trends, patterns and changes in trade and development. Each insight includes interactive visualizations and brief analysis, designed for clarity and engagement.
Instantly access UNCTAD’s latest data and analysis
In an uncertain world, timely data has never been more essential. Data Insights marks a step forward from the previously annual UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics.
Going forward, every time an UNCTADstat dataset is updated, its corresponding data insight will also be refreshed, ensuring key messages and trends are highlighted for immediate analysis from the newest datasets, whether updated annually, quarterly or monthly.
Comprehensive insights on the economy and broader developments issues
Data Insights will be regularly updated according to the UNCTADstat release calendar. New insights will be added in pace with calendar updates, continuously providing a snapshot of UNCTAD’s extensive statistical resources for decision makers, researchers, analysts and the media.
