Costa Rica More
Competitive
Costa Rica climbed five
positions in the Global
Competitive Index, to
position 63 among the
131 nations analyzed.
The Index, part of a
report of the World
Economic Forum, shows
that the United States
has recovered the first
position, which
Switzerland held last
year.
At the Latin American
level, Costa Rica is
sixth, surpassed by
Chile, Puerto Rico,
Barbados, Mexico, and
Panama.
The rankings are
calculated from both
publicly available data
and the Executive
Opinion Survey, a
comprehensive annual
survey conducted by the
World Economic Forum
together with its
network of Partner
Institutes (leading
research institutes and
business organizations)
in the countries covered
by the Report.
This year, over 11,000
business leaders were
polled in a record 131
countries.
The Global
Competitiveness Report
series has evolved over
the last three decades
into the world’s most
comprehensive and
respected assessment of
countries’
competitiveness,
offering invaluable
insights into the
policies, institutions,
and factors driving
productivity and, thus,
enabling sustained
economic growth and
long-term prosperity.
Produced in
collaboration with
leading academics and a
global network of
research institutes, The
Global Competitiveness
Report provides users
with a comprehensive
dataset on a broad array
of competitiveness
indicators for a large
number of industrialized
and developing
economies.
