The Global Competitiveness Report
2008-2009
Toronto-In the Global Competitiveness Report 2008-2009 released today by the World Economic Forum, whose Canadian partner is the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity, results for Canada over 2007 were positive. Canada moved up from 13th in 2007 to 10th in 2008 on the Forum’s “Global Competitiveness Index.”
“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. “This is the first significant increase in our rankings and we hope they signal an improving trend for our economy in its global competitiveness.”
