Although the Swiss Confederation is "only" ranked 6th and 13th in terms of corporate competitiveness and macroeconomic competitiveness, it is ranked first in terms of infrastructure and political environment, IMD announced on Tuesday.
The ranking compares the economic performance and institutional strength of 67 economies every year. Switzerland took second place last year.
According to IMD, stable political structures, efficient governance and a first-class infrastructure were decisive for Switzerland's top position. These factors are crucial in a geopolitically fragmented world. Such countries are better able to absorb external shocks and remain attractive for investment in the long term.
