CHELEM's systematic coverage of the world, the coherence of the system and the harmonisation of its classification make it possible to use the three databases to calculate easily a number of key statistical indicators for International Trade, GDP and BoP, including: structural ratios, trade balances, export cover, imports and exports per capita, annual growth, flow hierarchies or cumulative balances.The CEPII has also developed a number of indicators for analysing international trade in particular. These can only be calculated by using all three databases. The indicators are set out in the programme used to access the CDROM, which also explains how they are calculated.
