Did you know?
While the majority of the most competitive countries are playing musical chairs, gaining or losing a place each year, Switzerland has held onto its number two position in the IMD (International Institute for Management Development) ranking, just behind the United States and ahead of Singapore. Switzerland has a number of strengths, including quality of life and economic resilience, on both of which the country tops the rankings, and companies’ ability to adapt to market conditions, as well as social cohesion (second place), diversification and effective management of public finances (fifth place). For opinion leaders, the workforce remains highly motivated, with significant international experience and a high-performing dual education system. Switzerland has retained its image as an innovative and highly competitive country where it is easy to do business.
