Commodity prices are updated in the second business day of the month. Commodity price forecasts are updated twice a year (April and October). The Manufacture Unit Value Index (MUV), also updated twice a year, can be found in the in the worksheet “Annual Price” excel file, “Annual Indices (Real)” worksheet.

This dataset includes data previously published as the "Global Economic Monitor (GEM) Commodities" and "Manufactures Unit Value Index (MUV Index)".

The World Bank’s Commodity Price historical data and forecasts are published quarterly, in January, April, July and October. The price forecasts go up to 2030. Topics: Agriculture & Rural Development

The balanced annual panel data for 32 sub-Saharan countries from 2000 to 2020 was used for this study. The countries and period of study was informed by availability of data of interest. Specifically, 11 agricultural commodity dependent countries, 7 energy commodity dependent countries and 14 mineral and metal ore dependent countries were selected (Appendix 1). The annual data comprised of agricultural commodity prices, global oil prices (GOP) and mineral and metal ore prices, export value of the dependent commodity, total export value of the country, real GDP (RGDP) and terms of trade (TOT). The data for export value of the dependent commodity, total export value of the country, real GDP and terms of trade was sourced from world bank database (World Development Indicators). Data for agricultural commodity prices, global oil prices (GOP) and mineral and metal ore prices are obtained from World Bank commodity price data portal. This study used data from global commodity prices from the World Bank's commodity price data site since the error term (endogenous) is connected with each country's commodity export price index. The pricing information covered agricultural products, world oil, minerals, and metal ores. One benefit of adopting international commodity prices, according to Deaton and Miller (1995), is that they are frequently unaffected by national activities. The utilization of studies on global commodity prices is an example (Tahar et al., 2021). The commodity dependency index of country i at time i was computed as the as the ratio of export value of the dependent commodity to the total export value of the country. The commodity price volatility is estimated using standard deviation from monthly commodity price index to incorporate monthly price variation (Aghion et al., 2009). This approach addresses challenges of within the year volatility inherent in the annual data. In footstep of Arezki et al. (2014) and Mondal & Khanam (2018), standard deviation is used in this study as a proxy of commodity price volatility. The standard deviation is used because of its simplicity and it is not conditioned on the unit of measurement.

Contents

Indices in terms of dollars or sdrs, indices of market prices for non-fuel commodities and petroleum, actual market prices for non-fuel commodities and petroleum, and average weekly prices for non-fuel commodities and petroleum.

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.

The country-specific indices are constructed using, alternatively, time-varying weights (using average trade flows over the preceding three years) and fixed weights (based on average trade flows over several decades).

Vietnam Export Volume Index data was reported at 194.129 2015=100 in 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of 167.998 2015=100 for 2020. Vietnam Export Volume Index data is updated yearly, averaging 53.396 2015=100 from Dec 2000 (Median) to 2021, with 22 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 194.129 2015=100 in 2021 and a record low of 18.490 2015=100 in 2000. Vietnam Export Volume Index data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Vietnam – Table VN.World Bank.WDI: Trade Index. Export volume indexes are derived from UNCTAD's volume index series and are the ratio of the export value indexes to the corresponding unit value indexes. Unit value indexes are based on data reported by countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality controls, supplemented by UNCTAD’s estimates using the previous year’s trade values at the Standard International Trade Classification three-digit level as weights. To improve data coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product classification of the Standard International Trade Classification revision 3 using UNCTAD’s Commodity Price Statistics, international and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates and calculates unit value indexes at the country level using the current year’s trade values as weights. For economies for which UNCTAD does not publish data, the export volume indexes (lines 72) in the IMF's International Financial Statistics are used.;United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Handbook of Statistics and data files, and International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics.;;
