Abstract:

For over 20 years, the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) has benchmarket the performance of the world´s most competitive economies.  In its 2011 edition, the WCY includes 59 economies, extending its coverage in emerging markets by adding the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The WCY is recognized as the leading annual report on the competitiveness of nations and has been a pioneer in competitiveness since 1989.  It measures the different facets of a country´s competitive environment: economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency and infrastructures.

The WCY contains a detailed profile for each of the 59 economies as well as an extensive section of data tables with global rankings covering over 300 indicators.  The data are primarily hard, measurable statistics to provide the most objective assessment of countries’ competitiveness by the business community form our Executive Opinion Survey.

As the world enters a new era of globalization, nations are increasingly competing to gain access to develop and manage resources and competencies worldwide.  The WCY thus ranks and analyzes the ability of nations to create an environment and formulate policies that lay the foundations for future prosperity-the ultimate objective of national competitiveness.
