During the last 20 years Tajikistan's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 86th to the 113th 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.
Tajikistan has a high level of specialization in Lead Ore (154), Zinc Ore (146), Raw Cotton (125), Non-Retail Pure Cotton Yarn (78.8), and Cement (72.7). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Tajikistan observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Tajikistan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Uncoated paper and paperboard nes (0.52), Weaving machines (looms) (0.35), Sausages, similar products of meat, meat offal & blood (0.28), Bar, rod, angle etc nes, hollow steel drill bars (0.19), and Fluorides and complex fluorine salts (0.043). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Tajikistan according to the relatedness index, are Dried Legumes (0.089), Petroleum Gas (0.087), Insect Resins (0.086), Perfume Plants (0.086), and Tin Ores (0.086). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Tajikistan 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.
