The Global Production
Scoreboard benchmarks emerging economies on key indicators of supply capacity and competitiveness.
Definitions
Emerging economies (EME) are
defined as countries with a per-capita income not exceeding USD
20.000 in 2017.
Manufacturing industries are defined
in terms of their output, comprising all of the product categories of Sections 5 – 8 (minus Division 68)
of the Standard International Trade Classification (Rev. 3).
This indicator shows a country's
openness to international trade, affecting the potential for
domestically produced goods to enter foreign markets.
Indicator values are based on the sum
of the values of a country's exports and imports of goods and
services expressed as a share of GDP. This share is converted to score
values (from 0.000 to 1.000).
