Reference materials on the geography of the world economy. The main stages in the development of the world economy

The world economy is a historically established set national farms all countries of the world connected with each other world economic relations based international geographical division of labor.

National farms - any country is a combination of individual sectors of the production and non-production spheres, historically formed as a result of the social division of labor.

In national economies and in the world economy, territorial and sectoral structures are distinguished.

Territorial structure of the economy is a set of mutually located territorial elements in a certain way that are in complex interaction with each other. Such elements are economic (industrial) regions and centers (the most economically developed territories), recreational zones, transport routes, etc. In the world economy, there is always a significant difference in the socio-economic development of economic centers and peripheries.

Sectoral structure of the economy- is associated with the division of the entire economy into its component parts (industries), which historically arose as a result of the social division of labor. The sectoral structure of the economy reflects the economic proportions between sectors. It is expressed as the share of individual industries and sub-sectors in the total volume of all production (in terms of the cost of production). The sectoral structure can also be judged by the structure of employment of the economically active population.

When studying the sectoral structure, three of its levels are distinguished: macro-, meso-, and micro-level. Accordingly, one speaks of macrostructure, mesostructure and microstructure.

macrostructure reflects the largest and most important proportions:

Between the main sectors of the world economy (industry, agriculture, construction, transport, services).

Between production and non-production spheres;

Between the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy.

The regularity of the formation of the sectoral structure was the transition from the primary branches of production ( Agriculture), to secondary ones that arose during the industrial revolution (industry, construction, transport). Nowadays, a tertiary (service sector) sector of the economy and even a quaternary (information) sector are also singled out.

Depending on the ratio of the main industries, a country's belonging to an agrarian, industrial or post-industrial type of economy is determined.

mesostructure reflects the main proportions emerging within the main sectors of the world economy.

The microstructure reflects shifts in certain types of production, primarily industrial

Economic relations is the relationship between people in the process of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. World Economic Relations are economic relations between all countries of the world. At the heart of world economic relations is world market exchange of goods and services between countries.

"The international geographical division of labor" is the most important concept of economic geography. To consider it, you first need to understand what the "geographical division of labor" is.

Geographic (territorial) division of labor- this is the specialization of territories in the production of any products or services and their further exchange with other territories. This specialization can occur both within one country (within national economies) and on an international scale with the international exchange of goods and services (international division of labor).

In this way, international geographical division of labor (MGRT) is expressed in the specialization of the economies of individual countries in the production of certain types of goods and services and in their subsequent exchange with other countries.

The result of the international geographical division of labor is international specialization of individual countries. For example: Japan - cars; Saudi Arabia - oil; Canada is grain. For the emergence of international specialization, certain conditions are necessary:

    A country must have certain advantages, such as resources, over other states in the production of relevant products, and these advantages must be maintained for a long time.

    There must be countries in need of these products.

    The cost of production and delivery of products to the consumer should be lower than in other countries.

    The country must produce more of this product than it needs.

As a result of the fulfillment of the above conditions in the country, branches of international specialization oriented to the export of products and defining the "face of the country" in the MGRT.

This video tutorial is dedicated to the topic "World Economy". During the lesson, you will get acquainted with the terms "world economy", "international geographical division of labor". In addition, from the lesson you will learn about the features of international trade and the world market, about the patterns of development of the world economy. The lesson will give answers to the main questions concerning the world economy in the spatial (geographical) aspect.

Topic: Scientific and technological revolution and the world economy

Lesson:world economy

The world economy took shape at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

world economy- this is a historically established set of national economies, as a result of the social division of labor, individual sectors of the economy, interconnected by a system of international division of labor and international economic relations.

The main stages in the development of the world economy:

1. Pre-industrial stage of production - the end of the XVII century. The world economy arose at the pre-industrial stage of production with the emergence of international trade.

2. Beginning of the 18th - mid-19th centuries. It is characterized by the further development of the production of goods, the growing mass of which enters the regular exchange between countries, the development of national economies.

3. Late XIX - early XX centuries. During this period, the formation of the world economic system based on large-scale machine production was completed.

4. The end of the 20s - the middle of the 80s of the XX century. After the First World War, the process of qualitative changes in the system of the world economy began, which ended with the fall of the colonial system. The world economy has split into two main systems - socialist and capitalist.

5. Late 80s - early 90s of the XX century. This period is characterized by the growth of integration processes in production, the development of their organizational and economic forms associated with the production of goods and components in different countries. The development of the world economy was influenced by new countries (post-socialist).

6. The beginning of the 90s of XX is our time.

In general, the world economy at the end of the 20th - beginning of the 21st century, while maintaining diversity, a large number of contradictions and diverse trends, is still more holistic, integrated and dynamic than in the middle of the 20th century, and is becoming global. New economic ties and relations became characteristic of it, customs and political unions expanded. Integration processes play an important role in the development of the world economy.

Geographic division of labor- specialization of individual countries and territories in the production of certain goods and services and subsequent interchange. For example, in the international market, the main specializations of the United States are: engineering, chemical industry, mining, etc., in France - perfumery, engineering, light and food industries, Japan - various directions mechanical engineering (including electronics, robotics), Germany - the chemical industry, mechanical engineering, Nigeria - the mining industry (oil and gas), etc. That is, each country specializes in what it does better (it is its “calling card”), and subsequently exchanges produced goods and services.

Over time, the processes of formation of the geographical division of labor and the world economy become more complicated, capturing the whole world, and international integrations are formed. International economic integration- the process of developing deep and stable relationships between individual groups of countries, based on the implementation of a coordinated international policy by them.

International economic integrations are usually of two types:

1. Regional.

2. Industry.

3. Other types (national, customs, military unions).

The largest integration groupings of countries:

1. European Union. It is an economic and political association of 27 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania , Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, France, Sweden, Estonia.

Rice. 1. EU flag

2. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Member countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia.

5. Latin American Integration Association (LAI).

In addition, major integration groups are: the CIS, the Common Economic Space, the African Union, NATO (military bloc), OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and others.

Transnational corporations (TNCs) are of great importance in the world economy. TNK- the largest companies (corporations) that own production units in several countries. The world's largest TNCs include: Exxon, Dell, Coca-Cola, BP, Toyota, Apple Inc., BASF, IBM, IKEA, Microsoft, McDonald's, Google, General Motors, General Electric and others.

The geography of the world economy for a long time remained a purely auxiliary discipline in the circle of socio-geographical sciences, where the leading place was first occupied by general economic geography, and then by the geography of population and cities. A few books and reference books on the geography of the world economy contained purely descriptive materials on the location of its main industries in countries, regions and around the world as a whole. The division of the planet into two main camps adopted in our country in Soviet times inexorably led in the end to the narrowing of the scope of research to the framework of the world capitalist market. Even in those industries where the share of the socialist camp was significant, in fact, only data on developed capitalist and developing countries were analyzed.

In addition to ideological reasons for such a limitation of the geography of the world economy, there were also objective reasons. First, most of the information on the distribution and volume of production in the socialist states, especially in the USSR, was not available to the public. The secrecy began in the 1930s. from strategic industries - non-ferrous metallurgy, many types of mechanical engineering and chemistry, and then the closeness covered almost all divisions of the economy, including the agricultural sector. Secondly, in the same years in the Soviet Union, and later in other socialist countries, their own systems of prices, national accounts, and national wealth calculations were formed.

The price system rested on low wages and correspondingly low prices for basic consumer goods and services, as well as on a large role public funds consumption. In calculations of the gross national product (GNP), a distinction was made between "production" and "non-production" spheres. At the same time, according to the theoretical views of D. Ricardo and K. Marx, when assessing GNP, only the production sector should be taken into account, and when calculating national wealth, it is illegal to include the cost of land resources, etc. in it. Without going into the essence of political and economic discussions on such topics, we note the obvious incompatibility of the basic calculations for capitalist countries, on the one hand, and socialist countries, on the other, otherwise - for states with market and centrally planned economies, respectively. Long-term work of the UN statistical services and various other international and national organizations, in particular the Central Statistical Bureau of the USSR and the Institute of World Economy and international relations Academy of Sciences of the USSR, could not, in our opinion, overcome these two cardinal moments.

Equally profound differences in the determination of the exchange rate of national currencies are associated with fundamental differences in pricing systems. They were not convertible in the socialist countries, and in the calculations of trade turnover between the latter, the “transferable” ruble was used, and the exchange rate in relation to the currencies of the developed capitalist countries had a purely official, formal meaning. The paradox is not accidental when, after the introduction of the internal convertibility of the ruble, it turned out that the value of the export of the Russian Federation exceeded the estimates of its GNP as a whole.

The volatility of cost calculations enhances the role of much more stable parameters of the world economy - its territorial and sectoral structures. A detailed description of these structures, primarily the main ones - agriculture, industry, transport and the service sector - is the main content of this study guide. This, to a certain extent, paid tribute to the long-established geographical tradition and ensured the connection of the study with other, more scientifically advanced disciplines of the socio-geographical cycle.

These characteristics are preceded by a large section in which the author's attempt is made to identify the distinctive features of the world economy as a global economy. geographic system. Using the modern apparatus of system analysis, the most important concepts aimed at finding patterns of localization of economic phenomena and objects at different territorial levels are considered, such as the theory of comparative advantages in the international division of labor; minimization of costs when locating production, population and service sector; dissemination of innovations in geographic space. All these theoretical constructions have a deductive basis and mathematical expression, which puts them on a par with scientific concepts in other disciplines.

The extensive block devoted to agriculture differs fundamentally in its content from the standard descriptions, being focused on a structural-problem approach to the industry, which retains its leading position in most countries of the world. At the same time, historical and geographical themes are highlighted, since for many centuries it was agrarian activity that determined the economic face of the planet. Thus, it turned out to be possible without significant losses to abandon an independent historical and geographical essay, which would have made the whole work more difficult and would have excessively expanded its scope.

Increased attention in the textbook is paid to transport and the service sector, which is due to the complex and contradictory trends of post-industrial development. To trace these trends, which are still poorly understood in geography, seems relevant and important matter because they lead to decisive changes in many fundamental areas of society. At the same time, they have a most direct impact on the economic map of the world, allowing many countries that until recently were economically backward to join the ranks of the advanced.

The section devoted to industry remained the most traditional, the material of which is grouped in the generally accepted way - according to the leading branches of industrial production.

From the circle global problems that are acutely facing humanity, two are singled out - food and environmental, requiring a response from the world economy.

The textbook is based on the results of many years of theoretical and empirical research on the geography of world economy sectors, as well as country studies, also carried out for many years in the laboratory of world economy geography and country studies of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The authors took into account that the culturological and ideological functions of geography and geographical knowledge, usually from works that embrace a specific reality in its diversity, either completely displaced theoretical constructions, or left them as separate provisions that were not connected into a single whole. At the same time, the positions of geography as fundamental science, and the huge factual material on individual countries, regions, industries did not reveal many internal connections and did not help to understand the patterns of development. The book attempts to overcome these shortcomings. The basic knowledge accumulated by the geography of the world economy as a science is of particular relevance in the context of the market reforms carried out in Russia and the conceptual and practical significance understanding of modern global economic processes.

During the classes

I. Organizational moment.

II. Message about the topic and purpose of the lesson.

Today we have a traditional generalization and consolidation of knowledge, skills and abilities on the topic "Geography of branches of the world economy."

Why do you think geography studies this topic?

Why is it necessary to study the branches of MX?

(The geography of MX industries has been formed over a long period of time under the influence of various factors. It continues to change even today. It is very important to know the MX industries, because the economies of countries, and in particular our lives, depend on them.)

Why this topic particularly relevant in recent decades?

(This topic is relevant, since in recent years the MX industry has undergone serious changes. I believe that the main factors that caused these changes include: scientific and technological revolution, integration processes, raw materials, energy and general economic crises, as well as the aggravation of global problems of mankind, in in particular, demographic, ecological, food, military-strategic, etc.)

(In my opinion, a very important element in the development of the modern world and MX industries is a significant strengthening of economic and non-economic ties between countries or groups of countries, continents. Today, not a single even the most developed country can equally effectively produce the entire range of modern products, and even the meaning it doesn't.)

Why do you think so?

(Why does each country need to produce all types of products, if we know that there are many forms of international economic relations and ties. Among them are foreign trade, the export of capital, scientific and technical cooperation, offset transactions, credit and financial relations, the provision of various kinds of services, for example , servicing ships calling at ports, as well as joint cooperation has recently become more relevant. Russia can serve as an example, in particular, our Novomoskovsk Chemical Azot cooperates with the American Procter & Gamble.)

Having embraced all countries of the world, MX and the international division of labor in recent years began to develop not in breadth, but in depth, i.e. economic relations are becoming more complex, acquiring new forms. And it was precisely the deepening of international specialization and exchange that led to a particularly close merging of the national economies of a number of countries.

Thanks! You proved the relevance of this topic, and therefore the purpose of our lesson is to summarize and consolidate the leading ideas of the topic, to draw a conclusion on the branches of MX.

We will work with you according to the plan-scheme, following each stage. Each stage includes questions and tasks of various levels of complexity, and therefore I want to see the activity in the lesson of each of you.

A country with a population of 250 million produces 10 million cars a year. Export is 2 million cars. What is the required amount of car imports with a trade demand of 0.05 cars per person per year?

Solution progress:

1.10 million - 2 million = 8 million cars

Number - 250 million. Produced - 10 million cars. Export - 2 mln. Demand - 0.05 vehicles / hour

Find: Import value - ?

In the domestic market.

2. 0.05 car/h x 250 million hours = 12.5 million ed. - Demand in the domestic market.

Develop similar routes, accompanying them with a map (routes are designed in advance).

STAGE 5. Branches of the world economy and the environment.

At this stage, we will talk about how the industries of the world economy affect the environment. Pollution environment man has a long history. Even the inhabitants of Ancient Rome complained about the pollution of the waters of the Tiber River. The inhabitants of Athens and Ancient Greece were worried about the pollution of the waters of the port of Piraeus.

QUESTION 1: How does industry affect the environment at present?

(MX industries provide Negative influence on OS. This is due to the entry into the environment of substances and compounds unknown to nature, created, first of all, by the industry of organic synthesis. As a result, pollution of geographic shells occurs, such as the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere.)

QUESTION 2: Briefly name the causes of pollution of geographic shells.

(Causes of pollution of the lithosphere:

1) change chemical composition soils due to emissions of metals and their compounds, pesticides, radioactive substances;

2) household waste;

3) destruction of the soil cover.

Causes of pollution of the hydrosphere: 1) discharge of industrial and agricultural, domestic wastewater; 2) oil pollution.

Causes of air pollution: emission of solid and gaseous particles as a result of industry, transport, various furnaces.)

QUESTION 3: By whom and when was the first law on environmental protection created?

(The edict of the English king Edward I, adopted in 1273 and prohibiting the use of coal for heating the dwellings of London, can be considered the first law on the protection of the OS. According to the customs of that time, the death penalty was due for violation of the edict. And under King Edward III in 1338 passed a law forbidding dumping garbage into the Thames. At the beginning of the 15th century, a similar decree was issued by the French king regarding the Seine. And according to the decree of Peter I, all those who dumped garbage into the Neva were punished.)

QUESTION 4: What is the environmental situation in the Tula region?

(The most unfavorable ecological situation is developing in the region in comparison with other subjects of the federation of the Central District. For decades, powerful economic complexes such as the military-industrial complex, metallurgical, chemical, machine-building, mining, fuel and energy, road transport, agro-industrial complex, which played a huge role in creating a highly intensive technogenic load on the natural environment and man as part of nature.

In addition, the ecological situation in the region deteriorated as a result of radioactive contamination of the territories of 18 districts of the region, in particular our Kimovsky district, with cesium-13 7, which was the result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.)

QUESTION 5: What are the ways to solve environmental problems today?

(Ways of environmental protection at the present stage:

1) creation treatment facilities or their replacement;

2) development and application of a fundamentally new environmentally friendly production technology, transition to low-waste and waste-free production processes;

3) rational placement of "dirty industries".)

STAGE 6. Practical tasks.

(work with thematic maps and statistical material)

1. Explain on the map the directions of the main oil cargo flows.

2. Explain on the map the directions of the main world cargo flows of natural gas.

3. Based on statistical data, determine the world's leading countries in grain harvesting.

4. Explain on the maps the directions of the main cargo flows iron ore.

5. Explain on the map the directions of the world's main cargo flows of coal.

STAGE 7. Russia in the world economy.

1. Where is the Russian Federation in the world in terms of steel and aluminum smelting?

2. What place does Russia occupy in the world in terms of the length of railways?

3. How much fish and seafood is harvested in Russia?

4. How much electricity is generated in Russia and where is our country in terms of electricity generation?

5. Where is Russia in terms of the gross harvest of grain crops?

6. Where is our country in terms of extraction of the main fuel resources?

From A… The reference book on the geography of the world economy publishes data on individual industries and agriculture, the level of economic development of countries and international trade.

When compiling the collection, various foreign and domestic sources are used: electronic resources, official reference books, periodicals. Information from them is subjected, if possible, to careful analysis and processing, after which tables are compiled on its basis, the purpose of which is to display certain aspects of the development of the world economy.

As one saying goes, there are lies, there are big lies and there are statistics, but its true meaning is clear only to those who deal with statistics professionally, and it lies in the fact that with the help of skillfully selected statistical calculations, you can prove and disprove the same statement. . But this in no way testifies to the "falsehood" of statistics, but only emphasizes the role of the human factor, the idea with which statistics are addressed. In our work, we tried to show the statistical picture of the world economy as it really is, without intending to prove or disprove anything.

It is obvious that it is impossible to collect, process and present in a qualitative form all interesting and important statistics, even if they are mostly freely available, with the help of a small team. Therefore, we decided to concentrate our efforts on the minerals, metals and paper products that are closest and most familiar to us, as well as agricultural products and foreign trade.

The section "General indicators" is compiled according to the data of the World Bank (World Development Indicators, mode of access:

http://data.worldbank.org/indicator), section "Foreign trade" - mainly according to WTO data ("International Trade Statistics", mode of access: http://www.wto.org/english/res_e/statis_e/ statis_e.htm).

Tables of foreign trade in certain goods and product groups, present in most sections, are compiled on the basis of information from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database - COMTRADE, mode of access: http://comtrade.un.org/db/) with the addition their data from foreign trade statistics of leading countries and industry sources (for example, the report “ world trade and international cargo flows in 2009” consulting company"Vlant").

Tables for the fuel and energy complex are compiled on the basis of British Petroleum data

(“BP Statistical Review of World Energy”, mode of access: http://www.bp.com) and U.S. Energy Information Administration (“International Energy Statistics”, mode of access: http://www.eia.gov/cfapps/ipdbproject/IEDIndex3.cfm), supplemented by materials from other specialized sources.

The sections "Ferrous metallurgy", "Non-ferrous metallurgy", "Chemical industry" and "Other industries" are based mainly on data from the US Geological Survey ("Minerals Yearbook", "Mineral Commodity Summaries", etc., mode of access: http:// minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/) and the British Geological Survey (World Mineral Production and others, mode of access: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/mineralsuk/statistics/home.html), as well as World Steel Association (mode of access: http://www.worldsteel.org) and other industry research organizations.

The statistics for the "Timber industry" section are based on data from the FAO Forestry Service (FAOSTAT Forestry, mode of access: http://faostat.fao.org/site/630/default.aspx) as of July 2010.

The Food Industry and Agriculture sections are based on FAO data as of September 2010.

The "Transport" section is formed on the basis of UNCTAD data ("Review of Maritime Transport". mode of access:

http://www.unctad.org/Templates/Page.asp?intItemID=2618&ang=1).

In addition to the sectoral sections, statistical materials are provided on the PRC, which every year increasingly determines the state of world industry and agriculture, significantly changing the geographical picture of a particular industry, and Russia, whose economic development is most interesting to us.

A. V. Khokhlov. Reference materials on the geography of the world economy - 2011 (first edition) World economy in 2004–2007. was on the rise. All leading countries showed high growth rates: both developed (USA, EU, Japan) and, especially, developing ones (PRC, India, Brazil, countries of Southeast Asia, etc.).

One of the key factors that determined the dynamics of the development of the world economy was the depreciation of the dollar against world currencies. This led, on the one hand, to changes in the ratio of the competitiveness of goods from different countries, and on the other hand, to a significant increase in indicators in dollar terms (nominal GDP, foreign trade turnover, etc.), which did not change so significantly in comparable prices.

Another major development factor was the rapidly increasing demand for various raw materials, which is most associated with the dynamic growth of consumption in the PRC. Average growth rates of international trade in many types of raw materials and semi-finished products in the 2000s. many times outpaced the growth of the world economy, and the physical volume of their trade over the specified period increased by 1.5–2 times. Intensified competition for resources caused a significant increase in prices for them, which helped to strengthen the economic position of the countries exporting raw materials, and the influx of additional capital to them generated additional demand for consumer and investment goods, which was largely satisfied by the countries exporting industrial products. As a result, there have been significant shifts in the geography of many industries and in the direction of international trade flows.

In 2008–2009 Almost all countries (to varying degrees) have felt the consequences of a large-scale financial crisis, which began in the United States at the end of 2007 and then spread to the whole world, thus turning into a global financial and economic crisis. In 2009, for the first time in post-war history, world GDP contracted, and the volume of international trade fell significantly. The crisis has had different impacts on industries, regions and countries. Thus, among the branches of industry, ferrous metallurgy, transport engineering, industry building materials, partly - the timber industry and the chemical industry. Industrialized countries (especially the USA and Canada) and CIS countries were characterized by a significant decline in production indicators, while many developing countries, primarily those with large, growing domestic markets, were able to strengthen their positions in the world, to the greatest extent this applies to China. The current and next issues of the "Materials" will be devoted, first of all, to the impact of the crisis on various sectors of the world economy.

A. V. Khokhlov. Reference materials on the geography of the world economy - 2011 (first edition) Tables are compiled on the basis of information from the basic source, with the replacement of non-representative indicators with data from other sources, and in some cases with our own estimates and calculations, world results are also adjusted.

Our estimates are in italics in the typical tables.

Data for recent reporting years are most often preliminary. Data for previous years, where possible, are updated in comparison with previous issues of the Materials.

In typical tables of industry sections, as a rule, several insignificant territories remain outside the regional breakdown: Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Bermuda, and Antarctic territories.

The use of the name China in a number of tables means that the total indicators of the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau are indicated there; this approach is used, in particular, by FAO.

DRC: Democratic Republic of the Congo, PNG: Papua New Guinea, CAR: Central African Republic.

Considering the world results of foreign trade and the performance of individual countries, it is necessary to remember several important points:

International organizations that are part of the UN structure often do not publish and do not take into account data on Taiwan, because. This country is only recognized as a province of the People's Republic of China. This leads to significant discrepancies between world exports and imports, for example, certain types electronic products, where Taiwan is a major net exporter. In this paper, unless otherwise noted, Taiwan's performance A number of countries act as transit points, a kind of distribution centers for goods in a particular region, importing large quantities of them for subsequent re-export. This is most true for Hong Kong, whose imports for consumption account for approximately 10% of total imports, and exports of goods own production– 7–8% of the total export volume. Singapore, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UAE have a large share of re-export and re-import (not counting oil trade).

The value of the goods is usually determined at the border of the exporting or importing state (respectively, FOB and CIF bases). Thus, a product exported by one country, upon arrival in another, becomes more expensive in terms of shipping costs and other costs associated with its transportation. This causes the excess of world volumes of imports over exports. This is most noticeable for inexpensive types of raw materials and semi-finished products, as well as for some consumer goods that have a small volumetric value (furniture, shoes) - for these products, the share of transportation costs can exceed 15%.

A significant increase in fuel prices and tension in the global freight market in the mid-2000s. led to an increase in the contribution of transport costs to imports.

The next issue of "Materials" is expected in the III quarter of 2011.

All the latest issues of the "Materials" are presented on the website http://www.vlant-consult.ru.

The tables are based on WTO statistics (International Trade Statistics 2010 and Time Series Database).

The data was not corrected.

Venezuelan and UAE import data for 2007 and 2009 appear to be underestimated. (especially for consumer goods), Saudi Arabia data for 2009 is incomplete, with the exception of fuel trade, Nigeria's import data tends to be inflated (the country's foreign trade statistics are inconsistent).

EU data reflects trade with non-Community countries.

Data for some countries (Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, etc.) include WTO estimates.

Data for imports from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and South Africa are given on an FOB basis (i.e., excluding the cost of shipping goods to the country).

Data for Hong Kong and Singapore reflect exports of goods of own production and imports for consumption calculated by the WTO as total imports minus re-exports. The nominal indicators of these countries are significantly higher, because in Hong Kong, re-export transactions account for more than 90% of the total trade, in Singapore - 45%.

Too much excess of imports over exports (24% instead of the normal 5-7%) is due to the specifics of the data for China.

The PRC receives goods produced in special processing zones of this country on a large scale; the basis of such imports are electronic components. In exports, deliveries of these products are either not taken into account, or are characterized by much more low prices, reflecting not the full cost of the goods, but only the cost of completion.

The tables on production and consumption of natural gas for Russia use official data from Rosstat.

The original source ("BP Statistical Review of World Energy") gives lower values, but no explanation could be found for this, and the lack of a stable correlation with Russian data indicates that the reason for the discrepancies lies not in the accounting features.

It should be noted that the British Geological Survey in its publications provides data that correspond to Russian statistics.
