The top 9 countries together exported more goods than the rest of the world combined, according to a recent report published by Genuine Impact.
Putting everything in a global perspective, let’s take a look at who exported the most goods in 2022.
China, unsurprisingly, took the top spot with $3.6 trillion worth of exports. The US comes in second, with the likes of Germany, Japan, and South Korea, filling out the rest of the top 10.
In the trade world, size does not matter. The Netherlands, a country approximately 7.5% the size of France, exported 1.5 times as much as the French, while the city-state of Singapore exported the 13th most in the world and the 4th most in Asia.
Interesting fact of the day - the top 9 countries together exported more goods than the rest of the world combined.
To put into perspective just what a staggering amount of merchandise that is: $11.6T worth of top-spec Macbook Pros ($2500 each) would be 4,640,000,000 laptops.
