About this data
Merchandise exports to low- and middle-income economies within region are the sum of merchandise exports from the reporting economy to other low- and middle-income economies in the same World Bank region as a percentage of total merchandise exports by the economy.

No figures are shown for high-income economies, because they are a separate category in the World Bank classification of economies.
