The highest complexity exports of Kyrgyzstan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Microscopes (1.2), Electric Filament (1.05), Casting Machines (0.83), Central Heating Boilers (0.8), and Other Aluminium Products (0.69). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Kyrgyzstan according to the relatedness index, are Other Oily Seeds (0.13), Tropical Fruits (0.12), Perfume Plants (0.12), Other Vegetables (0.12), and Sheep Hides (0.12). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Kyrgyzstan 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 Kyrgyzstan's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the nullth to the 71st 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.
