“The building of productive capacities is a key strategy in accelerating structural transformation, promoting inclusive economic growth and achieving sustainable development.”

@UNCTAD

“The Productive Capacities Index is the first comprehensive attempt to measure productive capacities in all economies and construct a multidimensional index that can provide country-specific insights and diagnostics of productive capacity development.”

@UNCTAD

“The Index is designed with the aim of improving the quality of trade and development policies by placing the fostering of productive capacities and structural transformation at their centre.”

@UNCTAD

“In particular, it assists in the identification of economy-wide gaps and limitations that hinder efforts to foster productive capacities and structural transformation.”

@UNCTAD

“The results presented provide an assessment of the performance of 193 economies, using 46 indicators across the eight categories of the Index.”

@UNCTAD

“The study also captures the performance of landlocked developing countries as a group, together with country-specific analyses of performances in selected pilot countries.”

@UNCTAD

“Developing countries, including the most vulnerable among them, with the support of development partners, need to strive to grow their productive capacities, transforming their economic structures and reversing their continued marginalization in the global economy.”
