Data on the United Arab Emirates and Yemen
This page collects the figures that can be attributed, and explains what makes a figure attributable in the first place.
The test a statistic has to pass
To be usable, a statistic needs all of the following:
- A number — with its unit and, where relevant, its currency.
- A period — a year, or a defined interval. A figure with no period is not a measurement.
- A scope — which population, which territory, whether re-exports are included.
- A source — the organisation that produced it, named, with a link.
- A retrieval date — when the source was last checked.
This site stores those fields separately so that an administrator can correct one figure without rewriting an article, and so that two sources using different definitions can both be recorded rather than being merged into a number that neither published.
Methodological caution
Bilateral statistics between the United Arab Emirates and Yemen are particularly sensitive to methodology. Because the UAE is a large re-export economy, a goods total that does not distinguish re-exports from goods consumed domestically will describe transit activity as if it were direct trade. Where two sources disagree, this wiki preserves both and explains the difference instead of averaging them.
Sources for this section
The organisations that publish usable data on this relationship include the UAE Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre, Yemen's national statistical office, both countries' central banks, the customs authorities, and the multilateral bodies that harmonise national series. Each entry in the table below carries its own attribution.
Updating
Records here carry a last-verified date. If a figure has not been re-checked recently, that is visible rather than hidden, so a reader knows how much weight to put on it.
