During the last 17 years Turkmenistan's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 94th to the 100th 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.
Turkmenistan has a high level of specialization in Peat (186), Petroleum Gas (48.8), Sulphur (30.5), Non-Retail Pure Cotton Yarn (23.7), and Cotton Waste (23.3). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Turkmenistan observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Turkmenistan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Asphalt, bitumen, coal tar pitch, etc articles (0.075), Polymers of propylene, other olefins in primary forms (0.067), Float glass, surface ground, polished glass in sheets (0.011), Gas, liquid or electricity supply or production meters (-0.019), and Peat (including peat litter) (-0.2). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Turkmenistan according to the relatedness index, are Crude Petroleum (0.075), Chromium Ore (0.062), Raw Aluminium (0.054), Calcium Phosphates (0.052), and Insect Resins (0.05). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Turkmenistan 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.
