During the last 20 years Poland's economy has become relatively más complex, moving from the 33rd to the 23rd 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.
Poland has a high level of specialization in Coke (16.8), Razor Blades (14.6), Candles (13.2), Tar (11.8), and Newspapers (11.6). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Poland observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Poland according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Metal pickling preps, solder, brazing flux, weld cores (1.7), Self-propelled rail/tramway vehicles (not locomotives) (1.69), Machinery for making pulp, paper, paperboard (1.69), Fork-lift trucks, other trucks with lifting equipment (1.67), and Shafts, cranks, gears, clutches, flywheel, pulleys etc (1.6).

The top export opportunities for Poland according to the relatedness index, are Beer (0.5), Bovine (0.5), Electricity (0.49), Sawn Wood (0.49), and Other Fermented Beverages (0.49). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Poland 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.
