Kyrgyzstan has a high level of specialization in Precious Metal Ore (138), Other Locomotives (51.7), Knit Women's Shirts (51.4), Dried Legumes (50.7), and Glass Working Machines (36). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Kyrgyzstan observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Kyrgyzstan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Machines for hot working of glass, light bulbs, etc (1.67), Glass mirrors, whether or not framed (1.29), Heterocyclics, nitrogen hetero atom only, nucleic acid (1.06), Electric filament, discharge lamps (1.02), and Harvesting, produce cleaning and grading machinery (0.9). 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 (0.16), Other Vegetables (0.16), Knit T-shirts (0.16), Tropical Fruits (0.16), and Melons (0.16). 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 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.
During the last 11 years Kyrgyzstan's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 66th to the 75th position in the ECI rank.
