exchange rate appreciation and domestic wage increases that reduced the competitiveness of the more traditional non-commodity exports, and the fact that few new non-commodity export categories have emerged to replace the ones that lost traction. Reducing the disruptive impact of commodity price cycles on the normal industrialization process while maintaining the comparative advantage in commodity exports is an important policy challenge. D.

quartile on this indicator ( Annex Figure 4.1 , panel 2). This is also the case in a number of small states (below 1 million population, highlighted in red), which have significant levels of manufacturing exports. For example, Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia have export medicaments, medical goods and equipment, ships and vessels, and electronics. Natural resource-based exports (for example, in fisheries and agriculture) are also a significant export diversification option, including for small states. Several countries have developed other
