The Global Competitiveness Report
2006-2007
Toronto—In the “Global Competitiveness Report 2006-2007” released today by the World Economic Forum, whose Canadian partner is the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity, Canada moved down in the rankings over 2005’s results in both of its competitiveness indices. On the “Business Competitiveness Index,” Canada moved down to 15th from 14th. On the “Global Competitiveness Index,” Canada also fell – to 16th from 13th.
“These annual indices help Canadians determine trends in the competitiveness of our economy versus our global competitors,” said Roger Martin, Chairman of the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity and Dean of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “What they indicate is that Canada is not living up to its full potential in economic performance.”
