2016 Data
New data came early this year! As part of a new data release cycle, we're trying to update our data more frequently to mirror what's available from COMTRADE. As of now there are still quite a number of countries missing, thus, this required some re-engineering on the backend. The country profile pages will now show the latest year dynamically based on what's available in the database. For example the Vietnam profile page contains data from 2015 while Algeria is updated with 2016 data.
Germany, FDR and DEU
Currently in the SITC dataset (pre 1985) there are 2 versions of West Germany, Germany (DEU) and Federal Republic of Germany (FDR). This was for the purpose of showing a long time series of German data, from the earliest year available (1962) to the present. This became an issue whenever looking at tree maps of destination as one would see both DEU and FDR Germany appear, essentially doubling their exports. Closing issue #183, this is now fixed at the visualization level.
Now we see...
