Economic Complexity: In 2019, the highest complexity exports of Saskatchewan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Lifting Machinery (0.96), Scales (0.94), Harvesting Machinery (0.88), Boiler Plants (0.71), and Steel Ingots (0.7). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
In 2019 the top export destinations of Saskatchewan were United States (C$ 16.1B), China (C$ 3.12B), Japan (C$ 1.08B), Brazil (C$ 1.05B), and India (C$ 775M).
In 2019 the top import origins of Saskatchewan were United States (C$ 10.3B), China (C$ 502M), Mexico (C$ 410M), Germany (C$ 359M), and Japan (C$ 122M).
This section shows forecasts for total exports and imports from Saskatchewan. The forecast is based in a Long Short-Term Memory Model constructed using monthly trade data.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were Saskatchewan already has a comparative advantage, are led by Rough Wood (0.091), Petroleum Gas (0.089), Ammonia (0.089), Shaped Wood (0.085), and Concentrated Milk (0.08).
The highest complexity exports of Saskatchewan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Lifting Machinery (0.96), Scales (0.94), Harvesting Machinery (0.88), Boiler Plants (0.71), and Steel Ingots (0.7). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
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 Saskatchewan 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.
This network shows the products most related to the production structure of Saskatchewan. These are products that tend to be co-exported with the products that Saskatchewan exports. Higher relatedness values ββindicate greater knowledge, which predicts a greater probability of exporting that product in the future.
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.
