Strategic export controls: licensing statistics quarterly reports

Export licensing data from previous quarters from 1 January to 31 March 2008. 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)

The Strategic export controls: licensing statistics: 1 July to 30 September 2023 (2023 Q3) and the Strategic export controls: licensing statistics: 1 October to 31 December 2023 (2023 Q4) releases were published together on 13 June 2024. Therefore, please note that we have only published the country level data report for the 2023 Q3 release as everything else, including tables A-H and associated statistical commentary, was subsequently updated and published as part of the 2023 Q4 release - see Strategic export controls statistics: quality and methodology information for further details.

Country-level data reports are available for each quarter from January to March 2008 onwards.
