The Central Statistics Office (CSO) views the United Kingdom as a whole for services trade data. Therefore, it is not possible to provide separate Great Britain and Northern Ireland figures for services trade.
Merchandise trade figures are however available from the CSO for Northern Ireland and are as follows:
| Year | Exports (€m) | % Change on Previous Year | Imports (€m) | % Change on Previous Year | Trade Balance (€m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 1,565 | 1,261 | 304 | ||
| 2009 | 1,286 | -18% | 941 | -25% | 345 |
| 2010 | 1,326 | 3% | 990 | 5% | 336 |
| 2011 | 1,422 | 7% | 1,047 | 6% | 375 |
| 2012 | 1,436 | 1% | 1,026 | -2% | 410 |
| Jan-Nov 2012 | 1,325 | 950 | 375 | ||
| Jan-Nov 2013 | 1,352 | 2% | 931 | -2% | 421 |
