Finance to trade
positions ÷ goods, both directionsBank, portfolio and direct-investment positions in both directions over goods trade in both directions; financial centres show very high ratios because they hold securities for others.

The pair through time
2006–Jul 2026Each channel at its own period on one time axis: goods every month (12-month windows), bank claims every quarter, portfolio holdings every half year, direct investment every year, and below them the finance-to-trade ratio by quarter. Solid lines are reported flows, dashed stretches estimated; the band between a goods line and its other report is the mirror gap where both reports exist. A month with no goods line is one where the pair fell below trade-flow’s 1,500 largest flows.
