# Global Import-Export Country Profile (1995-2024)

A yearly country profile combining trade flows with economic, education, partner, tariff, and market-potential indicators.

## What one row represents
one country and calendar year

## Included measures and context
- Exports, imports, growth, and trade balance
- GDP, population, labor, education, and openness measures
- Trading partners, tariffs, and market-potential indicators

## Metric notes
- CAGR is the compound annual growth rate across a multi-year period.
- HHI summarizes concentration; higher values indicate activity is concentrated among fewer participants.
- Year-over-year growth compares a value with the previous year; a negative percentage indicates a decline.
- Fields marked USD are monetary values denominated in US dollars.
- Values ending in pp are percentage-point changes.
- Values ending in pct are percentages.
- Country fields ending in ISO3 use three-letter ISO 3166-1 country codes.
