تقييم أداء و تنافسية صادرات اتحاد دول المغرب العربي باستخدام مؤشري التركز و التنوع السلعي (2012-2020)‎

Abstract EN

This study sought to assess the competitiveness development of the exports of the Arab Maghreb Union (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, and Mauritania) during 2012– 2020, relying on the Arab Monetary Fund reports, as well as using the indicators of commodity concentration and diversity, Where the study dealt with the importance of such indicators as a tool for knowing and evaluating the performance level of any country's exports, as well as using them as a platform for improving and upgrading the competitiveness of its exports in global markets.

The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that the commodity diversity index proved that the economies of the Union of Arab Maghreb States are low in commodity diversity, given that most members of the grouping depend mainly on oil as a main source of wealth.

As for the commodity concentration index, it became clear that these economies are highly commodity-concentrated, which confirms the continued dependence of their exports on a limited number of commodities.
