Georgia has a high level of specialization in Other Isotopes (175), Water (143), Cyanides (62.7), Copper Ore (47.6), and Halides (44.3). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Georgia observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Georgia according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Halides and halide oxides of non-metals (1.84), Orthopaedic appliances (1.24), Articles of stone or other mineral substances, nes (1.08), Motor vehicles for transport of persons (except buses) (1.01), and Liquid, gas centrifuges, filtering, purifying machines (0.98). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Georgia according to the relatedness index, are Crude Petroleum (0.18), Tropical Fruits (0.18), Melons (0.17), Raw Tobacco (0.17), and Non-fillet Fresh Fish (0.17). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Georgia 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 14 years Georgia's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 54th to the 64th position in the ECI rank.
