Global Competitiveness Report

• The Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) is a yearly report published by the World Economic Forum. Since 2004, the Global Competitiveness Report ranks countries based on the Global Competitiveness Index, developed by Xavier Sala-i-Martin and Elsa V. Artadi.
• The Global Competitiveness Index integrates the macroeconomic and the micro/business aspects of competitiveness into a single index.
• The report "assesses the ability of countries to provide high levels of prosperity to their citizens". This, in turn, depends on how productively a country uses available resources. Therefore, the Global Competitiveness Index measures the set of institutions, policies, and factors that set the sustainable current and medium-term levels of economic prosperity."

The World Economic Forum defines global competitiveness as "the ability of a country to achieve sustained high rates of growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita."
