Participation of developing economies in the global trading system

Note by the Secretariat[1]

Corrigendum

Page 9, paragraph 3.13 should read as follows:

 

3.13 Non-agricultural merchandise exports are dominated by semiconductors and crude oils (see Chart 8, right). These are largely concentrated in a small number of economies. In 2022, China; Hong Kong, China; the Republic of Korea; Singapore; and Chinese Taipei accounted for more than 75% of developing economies' semiconductor exports, while Saudi Arabia alone was responsible for more than 25% of developing economies' crude oil exports. Compared to shares in 2020, one can clearly see the effect that the rebound in oil prices had, with the categories crude oils, mineral fuels, and petroleum oils all registering a sizeable increase in their export shares.
