This section shows forecasts for total exports and imports from British Columbia. The forecast is based in a Long Short-Term Memory Model constructed using monthly trade data.
British Columbia ranks 5th out of the 13 provinces in Canada according to ECI.
Estimated using exports data.
The economic complexity of a territory can change year to year. British Columbia it is in position 5th considering its ECI in the last year.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were British Columbia already has a comparative advantage, are led by Crude Petroleum (0.25), Non-Iron and Steel Slag, Ash and... (0.23), Raw Furskins (0.23), Other Prepared Meat (0.23), and Fermented Milk Products (0.23).
The highest complexity exports of British Columbia according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Tool Plates (1.98), Motor-working Tools (1.56), Metalworking Machine Parts (1.53), Other Paper Machinery (1.38), and Musical Instrument Parts (1.32). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The most specialized products according to the RCA index are led by Bovine, Sheep, and Goat Fat (59), Sawn Wood (55.6), Semi chemical Woodpulp (45.8), Veneer Sheets (34.3), and Raw Zinc (29.7).
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 British Columbia is 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 territory'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.
