This indicator reports the number of new product-partner relationships with trade values of at least 10,000 USD in the start year and the number and percentage of those that survive in each succeeding year until the selected end date. The ability to maintain trade relationships is a sign of a well-developed economy. Large scale deaths of trading relationships may reflect economic shocks or be the result of new policies. By selecting specific product groups, users may evaluate the expansion, contraction, and volatility of specific industries.
