What is Competitiveness?
Competitiveness depends on the productivity with which a nation uses its human, capital, and natural resources.
Productivity sets the sustainable standard of living (wages, returns on capital, returns on natural resources) that a country can sustain It is not what industries a nation competes in that matters for prosperity, but how productively it competes in those industries Productivity in a national economy arises from a combination of domestic and foreign firms The productivity of local or domestic industries is fundamental to competitiveness, not just that of export industries
Nations compete to offer the most productive environment for business The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in creating a productive economy
