PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The second edition of the Digest of International Merchandise Trade Statistics (IMTS) for 2015

presents statistics on Ghana’s Merchandise Trade from 2011 to 2015.

The IMTS digest aims at consolidating the data gap and enhancing the investment drive of the

country. The Ghana Statistical Service receives new data on a monthly basis, and there is

continuous data editing as various tables and reports are produced. The database is, therefore,

updated from time to time. As a result of the editing and revision of data, figures in the previous

and current Digest could differ.

This publication contains a wide range of current trade statistics on Ghana that provide users

with information to facilitate planning and decision making. Yearly and quarterly data for most

series are presented for the last five-years. The Digest also contains some data on non-traditional

export commodities which are compiled by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA). The

Digest covers the Balance of Trade, Imports and Exports by Section and Major Trading Partners.

The Digest will be reviewed on a continuous basis and additional data series of interest will be

included as and when appropriate.

The Digest can be accessed on the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) website,

www.statsghana.gov.gh. For users who have specific data needs, the Trade Statistics Section of

the Service could offer the necessary assistance.

The Ghana Statistical Service wishes to express its profound gratitude to the Customs Division

of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Ghana Community Network Service Limited

(GCNet) for making available the necessary data for the compilation of the International

Merchandise Trade Statistics.

We hope that users will find this Digest useful.

Introduction The Digest of International Merchandise Trade Statistics (IMTS) for 2015 presents statistics on Ghana’s Merchandise Trade for the period 2011 to 2015. This Digest covers the General Trade Type System, as captured by the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority. The commodity classification is based on the Harmonized Commodity Description & Coding System (HS Codes). Balance of Trade The Balance of Trade deals with the components of total trade, that is, total exports and total imports. Total exports in this Digest refer to all registered goods leaving the country based on ‘Free-on-Board’ (FOB). Total imports refer to all goods entering the country, including the free zones based on Cost, Freight and Insurance (CIF). Trade balance is the difference between total exports and imports for a given period of time.

Imports and Exports by Section “Section” as presented in the Digest is at the 2-digit Harmonized System codes (Chapter level). The 2-digit HS codes consist of principal commodity groupings of related commodities. Exports and Imports of Selected Items Exports and Imports of selected items in the Digest are classified using the 10-digit HS codes (commodity level). Exports and Imports by Major Trading Partners The direction of trade presents imports by country of origin while exports are presented by country of destination (consignment). Major trading partners are considered individually while smaller trading partners are grouped together under “Others.”
