Data notes & caveats

Exports and imports are flow totals, while the trade, current-account and overall balances are signed accounting results. They should not be added into a single composition.

Methodology

The comparison preserves five official first-nine-month values and their accounting signs. The import-to-export multiple and deficit gaps use the published levels.

Source consistency notes

All five indicators come from the same Bank of Algeria presentation, refer to the first nine months of 2016 and use current US$ billions.
