Med countries' trade in goods with non-Med countries over the last decade

Our data analysis of the past decade shows that non-Med imports have remained consistently greater than non-Med exports. As expected, imports and exports dropped in 2020, but since then, they have recovered and surpassed pre-pandemic levels. In the last two years, imports have increased at a faster rate than exports.
