Date of release: December 2008
The STAN Bilateral Trade Database (BTD) is compiled by the Economic Analysis and Statistics Division (EAS) of the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry (STI). This database is designed to provide analysts and researchers with values of exports and imports of goods in OECD countries, broken down by partner country (or geographical / economic area) and economic activity.
What’s new?
In the 2008 edition of BTD, exports and imports are provided for all OECD countries and a selection of Non Members, notably the OECD Accession countries and those which belong to the Enhanced Engagement Program. Compared to the last edition (released in 2006), the list of partner countries has been expanded and now includes 65 partners. For most declaring countries, the time-period covered is 1988-2006. Data are presented in US dollars, at current prices, and can be converted to national currencies using the currency exchange rates included in the database. More information is available from BTD’s documentation file.
BTD can be accessed via OECD' s data dissemination service OECD.STAT.

For any questions, write to sti.contact@oecd.org mentioning BTD in the title of your message.
BTD is derived from the OECD's International Trade by Commodity Statistics (ITCS) database, where values and quantities of imports and exports are compiled according to product classifications and presented by partner country. To compile BTD, ITCS data are converted from product classification schemes to an activity classification scheme using a standard conversion table. The industry list used is based on the ISIC revision 3 classification and is compatible with other OECD data sets such as the STAN Database for Industrial Analysis, the Business Expenditure on Research & Development by Industry (ANBERD), the OECD Input-Output Tables and the STAN Indicators. Details of those and other databases can be found on STI internet site.
