Uzbekistan has a high level of specialization in Non-Retail Pure Cotton Yarn (109), Wheat Flours (55.5), Molybdenum (42.2), Silk Fabrics (35.6), and Pitted Fruits (29.6). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Uzbekistan observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Uzbekistan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Tungsten (wolfram) and articles, waste or scrap (1.46), Molybdenum and articles thereof, waste or scrap (1.1), Articles of copper nes (0.88), Woven fabric of silk or of silk waste (0.75), and Electrical apparatus for voltage over 1 kV (0.68). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Uzbekistan according to the relatedness index, are Chromium Ore (0.18), Other Oily Seeds (0.17), Tropical Fruits (0.17), Legumes (0.17), and Tea (0.17). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Uzbekistan 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 a country currently specializes in.
The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk vs strategic value of a country's potential export oppotunities. Relatedness is 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 greenhouse emissions.
During the last 20 years Uzbekistan's economy has become relatively less complex, moving from the 52nd to the 84th 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.
