Methodology

## What this measures

High-technology products (aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, electrical machinery) as a share of South Africa's manufactured exports, one value per year.

## Why it matters

A rough read of how technology-intensive a country's manufacturing exports are.

## How to read it

Higher means a more technology-intensive export mix.

## What it does not say

Classifies products, not the work done: assembling imported high-tech parts counts in full.

## Source

World Bank, World Development Indicators (CC BY 4.0 per the indicator's metadata), indicator `TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS`, annual, dated December 31. Read weekly by the sovereign-panel sync, which rewrites the history so revisions carry through. World Bank staff estimates from WITS.

Palanor weighs every signal against the world your organization is watching. Methodology is public; integration is the platform.
