Among the e. countries ranked 51 to 70, the performance of Moldova, Indonesia, Armenia and Honduras stand out (when comparing 2024 vs 2000). years, offered sped up diversification strategies of lots of oil-exporting nations. posted a consistent improvement due to a mix of minimized reliance on fuel exports, lowered exports concentration and a change in the composition of exports.
