Thus if one segment of exports in X is 2% of GDP that is high as a percentage of exports but not GDP. And if one segment in Y has 4% of exports of GDP that really does not signify much external exposure as percentage of total exports.
That is one reason I think the Caribbean countries had such high levels of GDP but may not be the same level of exposure. Just trying to differentiate between high exporting countries and not. Rutherfordian ------------------------------ RDRutherford
