High and medium-tech exports [–]

This indicator shows the technology composition of a country's manufactured exports.

Indicator values are calculated as the shares (in %) of high and medium-tech products, respectively, in a country's manufactured exports.

Our classification of high and medium-tech products uses a categorization of products by technology level employed by UNIDO (covering about 90% of the total value of EME manufactured exports).
