Switzerland is, according to the world economic forum (WEF) for the eighth Time in a row, the country with the greatest competitiveness in the world. Germany slipped in spite of a slightly improved result in the “Global competitiveness index in 2016″ to the next rank on the 5. Space and was overtaken by the Netherlands.
Germany, particularly in some of the more complex areas of the economy, the course in the categories of Innovation and technological development. In the areas of infrastructure and institutional strength of the country lost ground. Also in terms of “Ethical business behaviour”, it went downhill.

Ever dominate European economies, the Top 10 – Sweden is on rank 6, great Britain is 7. – the result is based on data prior to the Brexit Referendum of the British people to the withdrawal from the EU, and Finland is on the 10. Place. However, the North-South divide within Europe remains high: Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece are lagging far.
The Anti-crisis exchange rate of the European Central Bank (ECB), the WEF experts, however, is critical. The flood of money will not suffice “to long-term growth in the industrial countries to boost again”. The basic prerequisite for the success of the programme was, rather, that there is already a strong competition ability.

The exporters would have to set up your business wider and to reduce the dependence on Oil prices. Progress, the experts attest to the important emerging markets. Especially India have made a great leap. Had slipped, however, Brazil.
