Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The International Monertary Fund (IMF) Primary Commodity Prices (PCP) database includes monthly data from 1980 onwards. The index, maintained by the IMF, tracks prices of internationally traded primary commodities, including industrial metals, foodstuffs, beverages, agricultural raw materials and fuels. It reports benchmark prices that are representative of the global market, determined by the largest exporter of a given commodity. It differs from the World Bank’s (WB) Commodity index as the WB's basket, which is designed to be representative of developing countries, does not include advanced economies' trade for the purposes of constructing the index.

This database was first provided by the UK Data Service in April 2013. Further information about the IMF PCP database in the form of FAQ's can be found at IMF PCP website.

This is a website that provides commodity prices and indices, The data are monthly and go back to 1980. The prices reported are in nominal U.S. dollars and are period averages. benchmark prices are reported which are representative of the global market, not for individual countries. They are determined by the largest exporter of a given commodity. Monthly data are updated on the Wednesday of the first full week of each month, and is posted on the website shortly afterwards.

Country-specific commodity price indices, including export, import, and terms-of-trade indices. For each country, the change in the international price of up to 45 individual commodities is weighted using commodity-level trade data. See “Commodity Terms of Trade: A New Database,” by Bertrand Gruss and Suhaib Kebhaj, for further details.

Imports of environmental goods comprise all environmental goods entering the national territory. A relatively high share of environmental goods imports indicates that an economy purchases a significant share of environmental goods from other economies. Exports of environmental goods comprise all environmental goods leaving the national territory. A relatively high share of environmental goods exports indicates that an economy produces and sells a significant share of environmental goods to other economies. An economy’s environmental goods trade balance is the difference between its exports and imports of environmental goods.Comparative advantage is a measure of the relative advantage or disadvantage a particular economy has in a certain class of goods (in this case, environmental goods), and can be used to evaluate export potential in that class of goods. A value greater than one indicates a relative advantage in environmental goods, while a value of less than one indicates a relative disadvantage.Sources: Department of Economic and Social Affairs/United Nations. 2022.

The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database contains selected macroeconomic data series from the statistical appendix of the World Economic Outlook report, which presents the IMF staff's analysis and projections of economic developments at the global level, in major country groups and in many individual countries. The WEO is released in April and September/October each year. Use this database to find data on national accounts, inflation, unemployment rates, balance of payments, fiscal indicators, trade for countries and country groups (aggregates), and commodity prices whose data are reported by the IMF. Data are available from 1980 to the present, and projections are given for the next two years. Additionally, medium-term projections are available for selected indicators. For some countries, data are incomplete or unavailable for certain years. Changes to the April 2019 Database: FYR Macedonia is now called North Macedonia. In February 2019, Zimbabwe adopted a new local currency unit, the RTGS dollar, which has become the official unit of account. Efforts are underway to revise and update all national accounts series to the new RTGS dollar. Current data are based on IMF staff estimates of price and exchange rate developments in US (and RTGS) dollars. Staff estimates of US dollar values may differ from authorities’ estimates.

Chang. 13, 804–806 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-023-01754-wConcepts:Trade risk: shows for the selected country the trade risk of country imports or exports at ports globally. This is derived by combining the country trade flows at the port-level with the annual expected downtime. For example, if a port handles US$ 1 billion of a country’s imports every year, and the expected annual downtime is 5.5 days per year, then the trade at-risk indicator is US$ 15 million per year (=1*5.5/365).Climate scenarios: The Climate Scenarios are available for present-day (roughly based on data for the last 30-40 years) and three RCP future scenarios for 2050.The RCPs provide trajectories of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations for the 21st century, as adopted by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The RCPs – originally RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5 – are labelled after a possible range of GHG concentrations by 2100 (2.6, 4.5, 6, and 8.5 W/m2, respectively). PortWatch uses three RCP scenarios: RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Based on the latest global climate models, these RCP scenarios result in a global mean temperature increase at the end of the century (2081-2100) compared to pre-industrial (1850-1900) of 1.8 (1.3 - 2.4) degrees (RCP2.6), 2.7 (2.1 - 3.5) degrees (RCP4.5) and 4.4 (3.3 - 5.7) degrees (RCP8.5). The higher RCP values mean higher GHG emissions and therefore higher global temperatures and more pronounced effects of climate change.The lower RCP values, on the other hand, are more desirable for humans but require more stringent climate change mitigation efforts to achieve them. The RCPs are not considered a forecast but a plausible range of GHG concentrations.
