National Competitiveness Report of Armenia

Greece's position in terms of competitiveness fell by just one position compared to last year, according to data from Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD) published today. The country is now in 47th place in the relevant ranking, falling from 46th place last year, among 63 countries.

According to the Global Competitiveness Index released by World Economic Forum (WEF), Turkey has fallen 10 places compared to two years ago.

While our country was in the 45th slot in 2014-2015, Turkey was in 51st place last year out of 140 countries, while in the 2016-2017 index Turkey is in 55th slot. 

If you thought my last column painted a gloomy picture of the Turkish economy, you should know that you didn?t see even half of it. Space constraints prevented me from going over the plunge in exports, lending, and the Central Bank?s reserves as well as several reports.

Bulgaria ranks 54th out of a total of 144 countries in The Global Competitiveness Report 2014-2015 of the World Economic Forum.

For a third year in a row, Bulgaria has improved its score.

In the 2014-2015 edition of the report, Bulgaria outperforms a number of EU countries, including Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia and Greece.
