The index, maintained by the IMF, tracks prices of internationally traded primary commodities, including industrial metals, foodstuffs, beverages, agricultural raw materials and fuels. It reports benchmark prices that are representative of the global market, determined by the largest exporter of a given commodity. It differs from the World Bank’s (WB) Commodity index as the WB's basket, which is designed to be representative of developing countries, does not include advanced economies' trade for the purposes of constructing the index. <br> <br> This database was first provided by the UK Data Service in April 2013.
