As economies integrate into global and regional value chains, these fragmented production structures may not be adequately reflected in diversification measurements. While an assessment of export diversification using gross exports provides insight into the direct exports of a trading economy, it does not tell the full story. Using both gross exports and value-added exports can better inform policy decisions and enable exporting economies to carve their niche in increasingly digitally enabled value chains.
