This section shows forecasts for total product exports and imports for Equatorial Guinea. The forecast is based in a long short-term memory model or LSTM constructed using yearly trade data.
During the last 6 years Equatorial Guinea's economy has become relatively more complex, moving from the 137th to the 136th 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. To explore different rankings and vary these parameters visit the custom rankings section.
Equatorial Guinea has a high level of specialization in Rough Wood (69.9), Acyclic Alcohols (32), Petroleum Gas (13.9), Crude Petroleum (10.9), and Veneer Sheets (9.02). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Equatorial Guinea observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Equatorial Guinea according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Acyclic alcohols and their derivatives (-0.63), Veneers and sheets for plywood etc <6mm thick (-0.82), Lead waste or scrap (-1.34), Wood in the rough or roughly squared (-1.51), and Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons (-2.38). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Equatorial Guinea according to the relatedness index, are Cocoa Beans (0.014), Ammonia (0.014), Raw Aluminium (0.013), Sawn Wood (0.013), and Cocoa Shells (0.012). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Equatorial 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.
