Notes and methodology

All values are in USD, converted from the dataset's USD-million rows at display time. Latest-month YoY compares December 2025 with the same calendar month of 2024; year-to-date YoY compares the same 2024 span. Trade balance is the published GACC balance and can differ from exports minus imports by rounding. Promoting a later month triggers a site rebuild, which updates this page's dates, KPI strip, chart, and table without editing the page source.
