READ ALONGSIDE THE INDEX
This market sits in the bottom 36% on the IEPA composite but the bottom 20% on productive capability. The wider system is converting more than the productive base alone would predict, which puts the question on how durable that is. Both figures rank the same 115 markets that carry each measure.

IE COMPLEXITY LAYER · VINTAGE 2024
No product currently sits close enough to this market’s export base to read as a credible next step. Concentrated export structures show exactly this pattern: of the 428 products assessed, even the nearest remain well outside current capability.
Read that as a diagnosis, not a gap in the data. Diversification from here starts with building new capability rather than extending what already exists.
