Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Turkmenistan observed and expected exports in each product.

Most Complex Products by PCI

The highest complexity exports of Turkmenistan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension... (0.24), Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms (0.15), Asphalt or similar material; articles (e.g. petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) (-0.036), Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms (-0.11), and Petroleum jelly; paraffin wax, micro-crystalline petroleum wax, slack wax, ozokerite, lignite wax,... (-0.3). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
