Aided by robust economic growth, a large labour force and its huge market size, India has moved up one place to rank as the world's 43rd most competitive economy in the 2019 edition of IMD World Competitiveness Rankings. India was ranked 45th in 2017, but higher at 41st in 2016.
As per the report, the country’s score was well on several economic parameters and tax policies but has lagged in terms of public finance, societal framework, education infrastructure, health and environment. The IMD World Competitiveness Rankings incorporate 235 indicators from each of the 63 ranked economies to evaluate their ability to foster an environment where enterprises can achieve sustainable growth, generate jobs and increase welfare for its citizens.
Globally, Singapore leapfrogged the US to grab the top position, while the US has slipped to the third place in the 2019 edition of the IMD World Competitiveness Rankings. Hong Kong SAR has held onto its second place.
