Tunisia is ranked first in the Maghreb and 32nd worldwide.
Morocco holds a good position in the Maghreb in the ranking established by the 2010-2011 Global Competitiveness Report, presented Wednesday to the press in Geneva by the World Economic Forum (WEF), in preparation for its 2010 Annual Meeting of New Champions in Tianjin.
Morocco ranks 75th with a score of 4.08, followed by Algeria (86th with a score of 3.96), Libya (100th with a score of 3.74), and Mauritania (135th with a score of 3.14). Tunisia is ranked first in the Maghreb and 32nd worldwide with a score of 4.65.
Globally, Switzerland tops the ranking, while the United States drops two places to fourth, surpassed by Sweden (2) and Singapore (3), after having already ceded first place to Switzerland last year, according to the report.
The report notes that Nordic countries continue to rank highly, with Finland (7) and Denmark (9) among the top ten and Norway in fourteenth place.
The World Economic Forum specifies that the Global Competitiveness Report is based on the ranking established by the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), developed by Professor Sala-i-Martin for the World Economic Forum and introduced in 2004. The GCI covers 12 dimensions and provides a detailed picture of the competitiveness of countries at different stages of development. These categories relate to institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labor market efficiency, financial market development, technological development, market size, business sophistication, and innovation.
The index is based on a combination of statistical data and survey results, including the annual survey of business leaders, conducted by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with its network of partner institutes (research institutes and economic organizations) located in the countries studied. This year, more than 13,500 business leaders were surveyed in 139 countries, the report indicates.
