Query exports, imports, trade balance, logistics performance, tariffs, and trade costs by country or region. Uses English country names only -- no indicator codes needed. Data sourced from World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) and TCdata360 (2,400+ indicators from 46 sources). Covers merchandise and service trade volumes, exports/imports as % of GDP, trade openness, Ease of Doing Business rankings, Logistics Performance Index (LPI), tariff rates, time and cost to trade, high-tech and ICT exports, and CAGR trend analysis. Includes regional/global comparisons, trade balance calculations, human-readable insights, and SDG 17 (Partnerships through Trade) alignment. ## Actions ### query_trade_data Fetches trade and competitiveness data for a country or region from the World Bank. **Required parameters:** - `country_or_region` (string): Country or region name in English (e.g., "China", "Japan", "Vietnam", "Sub-Saharan Africa"). Also accepts partial matches and income groups ("High Income", "OECD"). Unicode names are not supported. Unrecognized names return an error with a suggestion. **Optional parameters:** - `trade_topic` (string): One of "exports", "imports", "competitiveness", "logistics", "tariffs", "trade_costs", or "all". Defaults to "all". - `calculate_trade_balance` (boolean): Calculate trade balance (exports minus imports) if both merchandise export and import data are available. Defaults to true. - `include_doing_business` (boolean): Include Doing Business rankings and ease of doing business scores. Defaults to true. Setting to false also filters out time-to-export/import and cost-to-export/import indicators. - `include_lpi` (boolean): Include Logistics Performance Index scores. Defaults to true. Setting to false filters out the logistics_performance indicator. - `time_period` (string): "latest" (most recent available), "last_5_years", "last_10_years", or a specific range "YYYY:YYYY" (e.g., "2015:2020"). Also accepts "YYYY-YYYY" format (converted to "YYYY:YYYY"). Defaults to "latest". - `include_regional_comparison` (boolean): Include regional and global comparison data (World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, Lower Middle Income) for key indicators. Defaults to true. - `include_trends` (boolean): Include trend analysis with absolute change, percent change, direction, and CAGR for indicators with multiple data points. Defaults to true. **Example -- All trade data for Vietnam:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "Vietnam", "trade_topic": "all", "time_period": "latest" } ``` **Example -- Export trends for China over the last 10 years:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "China", "trade_topic": "exports", "time_period": "last_10_years", "include_trends": true } ``` **Example -- Competitiveness metrics for Singapore:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "Singapore", "trade_topic": "competitiveness", "include_doing_business": true, "include_lpi": true } ``` **Example -- Tariff analysis for India:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "India", "trade_topic": "tariffs", "time_period": "latest" } ``` **Example -- Trade costs with regional comparison:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "Rwanda", "trade_topic": "trade_costs", "include_regional_comparison": true } ``` **Example -- Logistics performance for Netherlands:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "Netherlands", "trade_topic": "logistics" } ``` **Example -- Imports data without Doing Business indicators:** ```json { "action": "query_trade_data", "country_or_region": "Brazil", "trade_topic": "imports", "include_doing_business": false } ``` ## Workflows ### Country Trade Profile 1. Call `query_trade_data` with a country and `trade_topic: "all"` for a comprehensive trade overview. 2. Review the `insights` array for human-readable analysis of trade patterns. 3. Check `trade_balance` for surplus/deficit status. 4. Review `regional_comparison` to see how the country compares to World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, and Lower Middle Income averages. ### Trade Balance Analysis 1. Call `query_trade_data` with `calculate_trade_balance: true` (default). 2. The response includes a `trade_balance` section with exports, imports, balance amount, and surplus/deficit classification for each year. 3. Currency values are formatted in human-readable units (millions, billions, trillions). ### Competitiveness Benchmarking 1. Call `query_trade_data` with `trade_topic: "competitiveness"`. 2. Review Ease of Doing Business rank (1 = best, lower is better) and LPI score (1-5 scale, higher is better). 3. Trade openness (trade as % of GDP) indicates how integrated the economy is with global trade. ### Historical Trend Analysis 1. Call `query_trade_data` with `time_period: "last_10_years"` and `include_trends: true`. 2. Review the `trends` section for each indicator showing oldest/newest values, absolute and percent change, direction (improving/declining/stable), and CAGR. 3. For exports and competitiveness indicators, positive change means "improving". For tariffs, time, and cost indicators, negative change means "improving" (lower is better). ## Notes - **Supported countries:** 100+ countries by full English name (e.g., "Vietnam", "Japan", "Germany"), plus partial name matching. Also supports 2-3 letter ISO codes if they match known World Bank codes. - **Regions:** "Sub-Saharan Africa", "Latin America", "Middle East", "South Asia", "East Asia", "Europe", "North America", "Arab World". - **Income groups:** "Low Income", "Lower Middle Income", "Upper Middle Income", "High Income", "OECD". - **Special values:** "World" or "Global" for worldwide data. - Country name input longer than 100 characters is rejected. - If country_or_region is empty, defaults to "World" (WLD). - **Trade topics and their indicators:** - `exports`: merchandise exports, exports % of GDP, high-tech exports, ICT exports, service exports, time to export, cost to export - `imports`: merchandise imports, imports % of GDP, service imports, time to import, cost to import - `competitiveness`: Ease of Doing Business rank, LPI, trade % of GDP, exports/imports % of GDP - `logistics`: LPI score, time to export/import - `tariffs`: simple mean tariff rate, weighted mean tariff rate - `trade_costs`: time to export/import, cost to export/import, simple and weighted mean tariff rates - `all`: all available trade indicators - **Trade balance calculation:** Exports minus imports.
