India climbs three spots in World Competitiveness Center report

31 May 2016 Evaluate

The International Institute for Management and Development (IMD), a Switzerland-based private business school whose World Competitiveness Center research group has ranked nations on their competitiveness on the global business stage since 1989, in its annual evaluation has said that India climbed three spots and China dropped an equal number of places in the 2016 ranking.

According to IMD’s World Competitiveness Center report India moved up the ranking from 44 in 2015 to 41 in 2016, while China slipped from 25 to 22 in a survey of 61 nations. India improved its overall performance, image, openness, and managerial practices, but remains bedeviled by rising social disparities due to the neglect of investments in education, health, and environment during the last two years. India now ranks 26th in terms of image, 11th in openness and 32nd in managerial practices.

About other countries, the institute’s report said that Hong Kong came at the top spot as it is diversified and therefore safer from economic shocks within the region. The country is business-friendly, promoting competition, and at the same time investing in public education. But the rest of Asia, overall, did not advance much on the 2016 ranking, with countries like Taiwan (14), Malaysia (19), The Korea Republic (29), and Indonesia (48) losing ground.

The report also noted that the United States was knocked out of the top spot in this year’s ranking of the world’s most competitive countries, a position it has held since 2013, falling two positions on the annual ranking, supplanted by Hong Kong and Switzerland.
