2000, as UNCTAD’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The export concentration index measures how far a country's merchandise exports are concentrated in a few products rather than spread across many. It runs from 0, exports spread evenly across every product group, to 1, a single product — the classic measure of how exposed a country's export earnings are to the price of one or two goods.

Export Concentration Index, 2000 covers 205 countries on 3 measures. Iraq is highest, at 0.97370; Italy is lowest, at 0.05472. The middle country reads 0.31244. Against 1999, 204 values changed (113 up, 91 down), 1 country joined.

How values are stored

One year of the 2026 release
Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2000.
67 empty cells
