For each component a country's value is divided by the maximum value of each component in 2004, the five components are averaged for each country, and the average is divided by the maximum average for 2004 and multiplied by 100. The index generates a value of 100 for the country with the highest average index in 2004. . The underlying data come from Containerisation International Online."

  • Transport services > % of commercial service imports: Transport services (% of commercial service imports) covers all transport services (sea, air, land, internal waterway, space, and pipeline) performed by residents of one economy for those of another and involving the carriage of passengers, movement of goods (freight), rental of carriers with crew, and related support and auxiliary services. Excluded are freight insurance, which is included in insurance services; goods procured in ports by nonresident carriers and repairs of transport equipment, which are included in goods; repairs of railway facilities, harbors, and airfield facilities, which are included in construction services; and rental of carriers without crew, which is included in other services."
  • Travel > % of all service > Exports: Travel (% of service exports, BoP) covers goods and services acquired from an economy by travelers for their own use during visits of less than one year in that economy for either business or personal purposes. Service exports refer to economic output of intangible commodities that may be produced, transferred, and consumed at the same time. International transactions in services are defined by the IMF's Balance of Payments Manual (1993), but definitions may nevertheless vary among reporting economies."

  • Maritime > Net official flows from UN agencies, UNDP > Current US$: Net official flows from UN agencies, UNDP (current US$). Net official flows from UN agencies are the net disbursements of total official flows from the UN agencies.

Respondents evaluate eight markets on six core dimensions on a scale from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The markets are chosen based on the most important export and import markets of the respondent's country, random selection, and, for landlocked countries, neighboring countries that connect them with international markets. Details of the survey methodology are in Arvis and others' Connecting to Compete 2010: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy (2010). Respondents assessed the ease of arranging competitively priced shipments to markets, on a rating ranging from 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy). Scores are averaged across all respondents.

  • Maritime > Logistics performance index: Efficiency of customs clearance process > 1=low to 5=high per million: Logistics performance index: Efficiency of customs clearance process (1=low to 5=high). Data are from Logistics Performance Index surveys conducted by the World Bank in partnership with academic and international institutions and private companies and individuals engaged in international logistics. 2009 round of surveys covered more than 5,000 country assessments by nearly 1,000 international freight forwarders. Respondents evaluate eight markets on six core dimensions on a scale from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The markets are chosen based on the most important export and import markets of the respondent's country, random selection, and, for landlocked countries, neighboring countries that connect them with international markets. Details of the survey methodology are in Arvis and others' Connecting to Compete 2010: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy (2010). Respondents evaluated efficiency of customs clearance processes (i.e. speed, simplicity and predictability of formalities), on a rating ranging from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). Scores are averaged across all respondents. Figures expressed per million population for the same year.

  • Maritime > Net barter terms of trade index > 2000 = 100 per million: Net barter terms of trade index (2000 = 100). Net barter terms of trade index is calculated as the percentage ratio of the export unit value indexes to the import unit value indexes, measured relative to the base year 2000. Unit value indexes are based on data reported by countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality controls, supplemented by UNCTADu2019s estimates using the previous yearu2019s trade values at the Standard International Trade Classification three-digit level as weights. To improve data coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product classification of the Standard International Trade Classification revision 3 using UNCTADu2019s Commodity Price Statistics, internaxadtional and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates and calculates unit value indexes at the country level using the current yearu2019s trade values as weights. Figures expressed per million population for the same year.

the 2002 "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South <a href=/country/ch>China</a> Sea" has eased tensions but falls short of a legally binding "code of conduct" desired by several of the disputants; most of the rugged, militarized boundary with <a href=/country/in>India</a> is in dispute, but the two sides are committed to begin resolution with discussions on the least disputed Middle Sector; Kashmir remains the world's largest and highly militarized territorial dispute with portions under the de facto administration of <a href=/country/ch>China</a> (Aksai Chin), <a href=/country/in>India</a> (Jammu and Kashmir), and <a href=/country/pk>Pakistan</a> (Azad Kashmir and <a href=/encyclopedia/Northern-Areas,-Pakistan>Northern Areas</a>), but recent discussion and confidence-building measures among parties are beginning to defuse tensions, <a href=/country/in>India</a> does not recognize Pakistan's ceding lands to <a href=/country/ch>China</a> in a 1964 boundary agreement; <a href=/country/ch>China</a> and <a href=/country/tw>Taiwan</a> continue to assert their claims to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Tai) with increased <a href=/cat/Media>media</a> coverage and protest actions; certain islands in Yalu and Tumen rivers are in an uncontested dispute with <a href=/country/kn>North Korea</a> and a <a href=/encyclopedia/Structure-of-Atlas-Shrugged>section</a> of boundary around Mount Paektu is indefinite - <a href=/country/ch>China</a> has been attempting to manage illegal migration of North Koreans into northern <a href=/country/ch>China</a>; <a href=/country/ch>China</a> and <a href=/country/rs>Russia</a> in 2004 resolved their last border dispute over islands in the Amur and Argun Rivers, but details on demarcation have not yet been worked-out; boundary delimitation agreements signed in 2002 with <a href=/country/ti>Tajikistan</a> cedes 1,000 sq km of Pamir Mountain range to <a href=/country/ch>China</a> in return for China's relinquishing claims to 28,000 sq km, but demarcation has not commenced;
