Overall risk
Did you know?
While most of the most competitive countries play musical chairs, losing or gaining one place from one year to the next, Switzerland retains its second place in the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) ranking, just behind the United States and ahead of Singapore. Switzerland’s strength lies on several levels: quality of life and economic resilience, two criteria for which the country ranks first, as well as companies’ adaptability to the market. It also stands out for social cohesion (2nd), diversification and public finance management efficiency (5th). For opinion leaders, worker motivation remains high, their international experience significant and the dual education system effective. Switzerland’s image remains that of an innovative, highly competitive country where it is easy to do business.
