  • Various organizations and reports attempt to quantify and rank the competitiveness of countries, revealing which economies offer the best frameworks for businesses to flourish. These rankings not only provide valuable insights into the dynamics of global economics but also shed light on how different countries progress relative to each other over time. 
  • One such notable ranking is the World Competitiveness Ranking report, compiled by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD). In this context, we will explore the top 20 most competitive countries between 2019 and 2023, as charted by Julie Peasley, using the IMD report.
