The top export opportunities for Guinea according to the relatedness index, are Crude Petroleum (0.051), Crustaceans (0.042), Tropical Fruits (0.04), Raw Cotton (0.04), and Manganese Ore (0.039). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Guinea 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 it is currently specialized in.
The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk and the strategic value of a country's potential export oppotunities.
Relatedness is a 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 emissions.
