The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Handbook of Statistics, first launched in 1967, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 50 years. Initially conceived as a resource for gathering and disseminating trade data, it has evolved into a comprehensive guide that encompasses a wide array of statistics and indicators relevant to the analysis of international trade, investment, and development.

The 2021 edition of the Handbook, released in the midst of a global pandemic, continues this tradition of excellence and innovation. As in previous years, this edition showcases nowcasted estimates for total merchandised trade, total services trade, and GDP, providing valuable insights into the state of global commerce.

The Handbook is organized into four main sections: Trade in Goods, Trade in Services, Investment, and Development. Each section offers a comprehensive overview of the relevant statistics, trends, and patterns, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics of international trade and investment.

One of the key features of the Handbook is its commitment to providing up-to-date and reliable data. UNCTAD employs a rigorous methodology to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its statistics, drawing on a vast array of sources and data sources from around the world. This ensures that readers can trust the information presented in the Handbook as a reliable source of information for their research and analysis.

In addition to its statistical content, the Handbook also includes a range of analytical and policy-oriented articles and essays. These articles provide insights into the latest developments in international trade, investment, and development, and offer perspectives from leading experts and policymakers.

The 2021 edition of the Handbook is a testament to the ongoing commitment of UNCTAD to promoting global trade and investment and to providing valuable information to policymakers, researchers, and the broader public. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of international trade and its impact on economic growth and development.

In conclusion, the UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics has played a pivotal role in shaping the understanding of international trade and investment over the past 50 years. Its commitment to excellence, innovation, and reliability has made it a trusted source of information for policymakers, researchers, and the broader public. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the global economy in the years to come, the Handbook will continue to be an invaluable tool for understanding the complex dynamics of international trade and its impact on our world.
