Status of the figures: As of 2020, a redesign of the International trade in services has taken place. To make time series and mutual comparison possible, 2020 will be published in 2 ways.

The first quarter of 2021 has temporarily been added to the old 2014-2020 table awaiting the publication of the new table.
