Finland has a high level of specialization in Cobalt Oxides and Hydroxides (69.4), Vegetable Parchment (42.4), Kaolin Coated Paper (41.5), Raw Furskins (40), and Papermaking Machines (39.4). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Finland observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Finland according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Chemical element/compound wafers doped for electronics (2.18), Machines nes having individual functions (2.05), Cermets and articles thereof, waste or scrap (1.93), Measuring or checking instruments nes (1.93), and Equipment using X-rays, alpha, beta, gamma rays (1.84). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Finland according to the relatedness index, are Cobalt Ore (0.28), Uranium and Thorium Ore (0.27), Zirconium (0.26), Wood Pulp Lyes (0.26), and Harvesting Machinery (0.26). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Finland is not specialized in.
The product space is a network connecting products that are likely to be co-exported. The product space can be used to predict future exports, since countries are more likely to start exporting products that are related to current exports. Relatedness measures the distance between a product, and all of the products a country currently specializes in.
The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk vs strategic value of a country's potential export oppotunities. Relatedness is predictive of the probability that a country increases its exports in a product. Complexity, is associated with higher levels of income, economic growth, less income inequality, and lower greenhouse emissions.
During the last 20 years Finland's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 7th to the 11th position in the ECI rank.
These economic complexity rankings use 6 digit exports classified according to the HS96 classification. We consider only countries with population of at least 1 million and exports of at least $1 billion, and products with world trade over $500 million.
