Country’s competitiveness up slightly

Bangladesh has just moved one notch up to rank 106th on a global index of world's most competitive economies that implies that the country rambles in lower-end segment of business competitiveness. The latest ratings show that though there is a little improvement in scores but its competitiveness is not growing compared to competing countries. Switzerland remains on top of pyramid--standing narrowly ahead of Singapore and the USA. 

This is the 2016-17 edition of the survey report by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), disclosing the annual report in Dhaka, said the country has yet to make visible progress on three out of four basic requirements: institution, infrastructure, health and primary education.
