How concentrated Eswatini's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset).

Every one of Eswatini's 109 real trading partners reported for 2023 under UN Comtrade (SZ) — a complete, deduplicated partner breakdown for this exact country/source/period combination, not a global top-N slice.
Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Eswatini's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Eswatini against all 68 covered countries.
