Operating as part of the World Economic Forum, the Global Competitiveness Programme is perhaps best known for its flagship publication, The Global Competitiveness Report. These series of reports are perhaps the most authoritative assessments of national economies throughout the world. The Reports themselves were first published in 1979, and continue to be made available in a variety of formats. And while the entire contents are not available here, visitors may read executive summaries and peruse other data. One of the most recent publications is the Lisbon Review, which assesses the progress made by the 15 EU member states (as of April 2004) in implementing the goals of the Lisbon Strategy of political and economic reforms.
Additionally, the site includes competitiveness report summaries on Africa, the Arab world, and the worldwide improvements in global technology. This will be added to International Trade Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
