OECD Economic Outlook: import volume growth
Annual growth of imports of goods and services in volume terms (OECD measure MGSV_ANNPCT: "Imports of goods and services, volume, growth"), for OECD members, G20 non-members and major aggregates (about 50 economies). Includes the Outlook's two-year projections (2026-2027 as of the 2026/1 edition). Unit: percent per annum (UNIT_MEASURE=PA); growth rates are derived from volume series at constant prices, so they separate quantity movements from price movements. Caveats: national accounts revisions can restate history; some partner economies have shorter series. Pairs with the export volume growth dataset on the same economies: exports minus imports in volume terms approximates the real net-export contribution to GDP growth.
