Morocco has a high level of specialization in Calcium Phosphates (203), Phosphoric Acid (199), Phosphatic Fertilizers (112), Legumes (101), and Barium Sulphate (70.1). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Morocco observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Morocco according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Insulating fittings for electrical equipment (1.11), Engines and motors, nes (1.06), Electric lighting, signal equipment, car electrics nes (1.04), Motor vehicles for transport of persons (except buses) (1.01), and Parts for internal combustion spark ignition engines (1). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Morocco according to the relatedness index, are Knit Men's Undergarments (0.24), Gold (0.24), Non-Knit Men's Undergarments (0.23), Other Vegetable Products (0.23), and Raw Tobacco (0.23). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Morocco 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 20 years Morocco's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 81st to the 89th 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.
