During the last 20 years Slovakia's economy has become relatively más complex, moving from the 22nd to the 15th 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.
Slovakia has a high level of specialization in Coin (25.9), Central Heating Boilers (21.8), Railway Freight Cars (12), Video Displays (11.4), and Vehicle Bodies (9.88). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Slovakia observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Slovakia according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Machine-tools for non-mechanical removal of material (1.81), Electric solder, weld, braze,hot metal spray equipment (1.75), Machine-tools for forging, die-stamping, bending metal (1.65), Shafts, cranks, gears, clutches, flywheel, pulleys etc (1.6), and Machinery for rubber, plastics industry (1.57). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Slovakia according to the relatedness index, are Soil Preparation Machinery (0.28), Large Iron Containers (0.27), Other Wood Articles (0.27), Refrigerators (0.27), and Densified Wood (0.27). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Slovakia 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.
