The importance of international trade to the economic health and overall standard of living of a country has never been as clear as it is today. The value of world merchandise exports reached an all-time high of ＄5.1 trillion in 1996, a 3.7 percent increase over the value of exports in 1995 and a 4.0 percent increase in physical volume. The growth in value represented an increase of ＄180 billion. Throughout the past three decades, international trade volume has, on average, outgrown production.
In terms of major economic areas, the industrialized countries dominate world trade, accounting for about 70 percent of world trade in recent years. The relative importance of the European Union and the United States, Canada, and Japan is evident in terms of both imports and exports. Asia accounts for over 55 percent of the developing countries imports and exports.
The major markets for all regions’ exports 〔区域性出口（产品）〕are in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. This is true for these three areas themselves, especially for Western Europe, which sends 68.1 percent of its exports to itself. In addition, the countries in the regions of Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Africa, and the Middle East trade relatively little with themselves.
