Economic Complexity

Economic complexity is a measure of the diversity and sophistication of a country's export basket. It reflects the number of different products that a country exports, as well as the technological complexity of those products. Countries with higher levels of economic complexity are generally more innovative and have a greater capacity to produce a wide range of goods and services. Economic complexity can be used to predict a country's long-term economic growth and development.
