Collection
Strategic export controls: quarterly licensing statistics
Export licensing data from previous quarters. These include information by country.
Each quarterly report published since July 2015 provides users with:
- a set of data tables presenting data on licensing decisions and processing times for all licence applications
- for each quarterly report, data is provided annually and quarterly from 2008 to the latest available quarter as spread sheets
- each set of tables is fully updated where there have been changes to data since the last publication (back to the start of 2008) so users should refer to the latest release for the most up to date data
- a statistical commentary report that aims to summarise the key data trends and provide context and explanation for trends
- a country level data report giving data per country published as a PDF (or spreadsheet from 1 July 2021)
Country-level data reports
Country-level data reports are available for each quarter from January to March 2008 onwards.
