Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of national competitiveness on export of goods and services of European economies. The paper looks at three groups of countries: the CEFTA, the European Union, and the European Monetary Union. Panel regression models are used to test the hypothesis: OLS, model of fixed and random effects. GCI 4.0 is used as an indicator of national competitiveness. The results show a positive and statistically significant impact of GCI 4.0 on the export of European economies collectively and of economies in the EU and EMU, while this impact is absent in CEFTA.
