Exports of an economy- both quantum and value- directly impact the growth of an economy. Drawing on the export-led growth hypothesis, this exploratory analysis examines the export resilience in the Top 10 leading economies (in terms of size of GDP) in the world economic system in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings rank the economies on four parameters: Shock Absorption Capacity, Recovery Capability, Sustainable growth potential, and the overall ranking of export resilience. Further, the top five overall export resilience ranking countries- Italy, Brazil, India, China and Japan- have been examined on a case-by-case basis to gain deeper insights.
