RP06 GTIAS Attribute

What this tells you

High-scoring industries operate in goods or services that governments actively use as instruments of statecraft — trade access can be restricted for geopolitical, not commercial, reasons.

Top 25 — Export Control & Sanctions Exposure

Ranked directly by the Trade Control & Weaponization Potential score (GTIAS RP06) — not a pillar average. Score out of 5.0 — higher indicates greater structural risk exposure.
