Metric
The Atlas of Economic Complexity’s Economic Complexity Index
Why this matters
More diverse economies are more resilient to shocks, and make countries more able to manage and take advantage of structural shifts. The Economic Complexity Index (ECI) ranking attempts to measure the relative diversity of an economy, compared to other countries. It is calculated based on the diversity of exports a country produces and their abundance, or the number of other countries able to produce them.
Progress
In 2023:
- Australia was ranked 105th out of the 145 countries included in the ECI ranking
Australia's ranking indicated it had less economic complexity (relative to other countries) than it did in the 2000s, when its ranking ranged from 64 (in 2003) to 92 (in 2009).
