Among the e. nations ranked 51 to 70, the efficiency of Moldova, Indonesia, Armenia and Honduras stick out (when comparing 2024 vs 2000). years, given accelerated diversification strategies of many oil-exporting nations. posted a stable improvement due to a combination of decreased reliance on fuel exports, decreased exports concentration and a modification in the structure of exports.
