About the indicator

The share of fuel in merchandise imports — the reverse side of fuel dependence. The indicator measures vulnerability to rising energy prices: a country spending a quarter of its imports on fuel loses as much when prices double as an exporter does when they fall. The series reacts visibly to oil shocks, and it shows that in the 1970s the share of fuel in the imports of developed countries rose several times over.

Important: The share is of value, not of volume, so it rises when fuel becomes more expensive even with no change in physical deliveries. The aggregate is weighted by merchandise imports — the denominator of the indicator.
