2006, 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, 2006 covers 207 countries on 3 measures. Cayman Islands is highest, at 0.97248; Italy is lowest, at 0.05301. The middle country reads 0.31799. Against 2005, 207 values changed (94 up, 113 down), the same countries are covered.

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 2006.
