1 Mindthe$2trillionGap $2trillionofmissingtradeintheworldcannotbeignored EquantAnalytics2016 Keymessages Wehavefound$2.1trillionmoretradeintheworldthanofficialreportedstatisticssuggest. This comes about from under3reporting which Equant Analytics corrects by the process of mirroring* tradedataforover200countriesandtradingjurisdictionsaswellas12,800productsandsectors. We developed the EADR (Equant Analytics Divergence Ratio) which measures the extent of the difference between officially published and mirrored data. It is a warning light indicating where a country stradedatashouldbeinterrogatedmorecloselyfor'hidden'dataorimpactsfromsanctionsand tariffs. An average of 11% of global trade over the past 15 years has been unaccounted for. This makes it invisibletothebroaderglobaleconomy,financiersandgovernments. WefoundthatSwitzerland had the largest numerical discrepancy in 2014 with the top 10 countries making up $873bn of the $2.1 trillion difference. Switzerland s mirrored trade divergence from its published trade has been particularly acute since 2013 and more specifically in 2014, with a significant increaseinoilandgastradebetweenrussiaandswitzerland. Chinahasthesecondlargestdivergenceinitstradestatisticsbyvalueatsome$123.9bnin2014,while HongKonghasthethirdlargestat$123.2bn.Since2003China simporttradehasdivergedprogressively lessinpercentagetermscomparedtohongkong swherethedivergencehasincreased. Thekeydriverofthehealthoftheglobaleconomyasweknowisgrowthoftotalworldtrade.Achieving trulyaccurateandcomprehensivedataonthisandsobeingabletolookforwardandassessfuturegrowth isacentralgoalformanykeydecisionmakers. We aim to make global trade data more reliable. Unreliable global trade data weakens the quality of decision making by banks, investors and governments which may deter decisions to invest, finance or trade. 1 *Amirroringapproachreversesthetradeflowfortwocountriesandcreatesaweightedaverageofthetwosothatimportandexportvaluesare consistent.theapproachisusedbytheworldtradeorganisation(wto)andtheorganisationforeconomiccooperationanddevelopment(oecd) andappliedtothelargerunitednationscomtradedatasetforover200countriesandtradingjurisdictionsand12,800productsandsectors.

This ensures that imports and exports have the same value between countries and also uncovers trade between countries as well as systematicunder/over3reportingbycountries. This is not a new phenomenon. The gap has remained reasonably consistent across the world, but as emergingeconomieshaveimprovedtheirdatacollectionprocesses,thegapbetweenwhatispublishedby theunitednationsinitscomtradedatabaseandindividualemergingeconomieshasnarrowed.wheregaps persist,theyareoftensystematic inotherwords,countriesprovidedifferenttradenumberstothosethat arereporteddirectlytointernationalauthorities.

5 3.0 TheEquantAnalyticsDivergenceRatio(EADR) Measuringthegap To provide a regular indicator of data reliability, we developed the Equant Analytics Divergence Ratio (EADR).ThisratioisthedivergencebetweenEquantAnalytics comprehensivedatasetandwhatiscurrently publicly available through Comtrade, the World Trade Organisation and country statistics. This ratio has averaged 11% over the past 15 years, as depicted in Figure 1 below, suggesting that there is always a significantamountofglobaltradewhichisnotvisibleandthusunaccountedforintheglobaleconomy. 15 %divergenceofwtoandequantanalygcsglobal tradedata Figure1:TheEADRforglobaltrade,2000X2014 TheEADRforglobaltrademaybeconsistentovertimewithanaverageof11%overthepast15years,but thatisnotthecasewhenanalysingtheeadrforspecificcountries.forexample,theeadrforirelandis over30%todayyetpriortotheintroductionoftheeuroitwasjust7%.similarly,malta stradehasbecome oneofthemostdivergentofallcountries,particularlysincethefinancialcrisis.theretendtobespikesin theratiolastingacoupleofyears,particularlyaroundsanctionsandtradeagreements. The EADR provides an alert for countries that are suddenly and substantially diverging from published statistics. As such it provides the trade, trade finance and trading community with a red flag where the divergenceissignificantenoughtowarrantfurtherinvestigation. 5

Waywardtradedataisevenmoreinterestingbecauseithasthepotentialtoprovesuspicionsabouttrade diversion and data manipulation and the EADR approach is intended to create a mechanism whereby divergences can be identified and flagged for further investigation.
