In this study, it was attempted to determine the export competitiveness of the countries of Central Asia. Competitiveness in the study is measured by the Explained Comparative Excellence Index. In the analysis phase, the export data of the International Trade Center for the period 2008-2017 were used. According to the Reported Comparative Excellence Index, Central Asian countries have more competitiveness in mineral fuels, agricultural products, textile and ready-made clothing products, chemical products and mining products.
