Data Observatory
Updated quarterly, the Sino-Arabica Data Observatory tracks commercial exchange between the Mideast and China: trade flows, levels of mutual dependence, product-level composition, and year-on-year fluctuations. Browse the trade map and aggregate interregional profile for an overview, or take a closer look with one of our country-level profiles. Read the methodology page for definitions and sourcing.
Prepared by economists with an eye to accessibility, the Observatory’s data offering is intended to help close knowledge gaps which endure with respect to the expanding relations between China and the Mideast, giving policymakers, businesses, NGOs, members of the public, and other stakeholders a reliable evidentiary base with which to build understanding and make informed decisions.
