Indicators explained

This index measures, for each product, the degree of export market concentration by country of origin. It tells us if a large share of commodity exports are accounted for by a small number of countries or, on the contrary, if exports are well distributed among many countries.

The market concentration index by country table is available in the Data Centre.

This index measures, for each product, the degree of import market concentration by country of destination. It tells us if a large share of commodity imports is bought by a small number of countries or, on the contrary, if the imports are well distributed among many countries.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an index representing the current price level of things that consumers typically use. It compares the price of a fixed, representative, "basket" of consumer goods/services to the price of that same basket in an arbitrary base period. A high CPI indicates a high general level of prices.
