The World Competitiveness Scoreboard presents
the 2014 overall rankings for the 60 economies
covered by the WCY. The economies are ranked
from the most to the least competitive and the
results from the previous year’s scoreboard (2013)
are shown in brackets. The Scores shown to the
left are actually indices (0 to 100) generated for
the unique purpose of constructing charts and
graphics.
