Abstract

This chapter briefly describes the Trade Performance Index (TPI) compiled by UNCTAD/WTO’s International Trade Centre. The index analyzes the main actors’ relative positions in international trade based on a comparison of about 190 countries, with exports broken down into 14 macro-sectors. According to the TPI in 2013 Italy is in second place after Germany in terms of international trade competitiveness, winning 3 first places out of the 14 macro-sectors (in textiles, clothing and leather/footwear), 5 second places (non-electronic machinery, transport equipment, electronic components, basic manufactures and miscellaneous products), and one seventh place (processed foods). Only Germany is ahead of Italy, with 8 first places and one second place.
