Analysis of the global competitiveness index of the European union and the Republic of Croatia

While approaching the tenth anniversary of the Global Financial Crisis, the world economy is showing stimulating signs of recovery, with GDP growth is accelerating to 3.5 percent in 2017. Despite this positive development, leaders face major difficulties when it comes to economic policy. Governments, businesses and individuals are faced with a high level of uncertainty, as technology and geopolitical forces transform the economic and political order that has sustained international relations and economic policy over the past 25 years. The aim of this research is to analyze the Global Competitiveness Report (GCI), by the World Economic Forum (WEF), developed by professor Xavier Sala-i-Martin of Columbia University. The World Economic Forum, the international organization for public-private collaboration, seeks to provide guidance, inform future-oriented solutions, and shed light on trade-offs that policymakers will face going forward. This flagship report, presenting the results of the Global Competitiveness Index, offers impartial information that allows leaders from the public and private sectors to better understand the main drivers of growth. This year it includes rankings and detailed data profiles for close to 140 countries and comparable time series. The research focuses on European Union countries and especially on Croatia for the period 2007-2017.
