Data for 2007

Export Concentration Index, 2007

2007, 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, 2007 covers 207 countries on 3 measures. Iraq is highest, at 0.95635; Italy is lowest, at 0.05363. The middle country reads 0.32299. Against 2006, 207 values changed (68 up, 139 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 2007.

  • 71 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
