Exports as a percentage of GDP, by Member State

The figures 3 and 4 show the importance of trade to the GDP of each Member State, both
with respect to imports from other countries and exports to other countries. The figures
for exports and imports are remarkably similar within each Member State while there are
marked differences across Member States. In general, smaller countries have a higher
ration of exports and imports to GDP, although Luxembourg is a clear outlier.
