Supplementary notes

The Global Competitiveness Index measures national competitiveness, defined as the set of institutions, policies and factors that determine the level of productivity.

The score ranges from 0 to100 points, where 100 represents the optimal situation or 'frontier', an ideal state where an issue ceases to be a constraint to productivity growth.
