Nicaragua's high-tech exports have experienced a significant decline over the past two decades, with the latest value standing at 0.79 in 2025, ranking 142nd globally. This is a far cry from its all-time peak of 6.71 in 2011, and even further from recovering to that level after hitting an all-time trough of 0.25 in 2012. In comparison to its peers, Nicaragua's high-tech exports are slightly higher than Togo's 0.76, but lower than Cameroon's 0.82 and Brunei Darussalam's 0.90. The country's high-tech exports have been on a downward trend since the peak in 2011, with a brief but significant drop in 2012. As the global economy continues to evolve and prioritize technology, Nicaragua's ability to reverse this trend will depend on its capacity to invest in and develop its high-tech sector, which would be necessary to change the trajectory of its high-tech exports.
