UNCTAD’s Productive Capacities Index
Methodological Approach and Results

UNCTAD’s extensive work on measuring and benchmarking productive capacities globally reveals significant gaps, not only between developed and developing economies, but also within the developing countries themselves. UNCTAD’s new Productive Capacities Index (PCI) clearly demonstrates that the difference in the levels of socioeconomic development across countries and regions is a consequence of the gaps in their levels of productive capacities.
