Abstract: The concept of a country’s competitiveness, in addition to numerous challenges, has risen in importance in recent years. Relying on the data obtained from the Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum, the paper analyses competitiveness of the most competitive countries and the least competitive countries in the EU. Visualisation of data on competitiveness and GDP per capita of the analysed group of countries in 2013 enabled the identification of the most critical factors of competitiveness of the EU countries. Furthermore, based on the evaluated competitiveness trend line for the observed groups of countries in the period 2006-2013, it has been concluded that it is not realistic to expect significant convergence of the analysed groups of countries in respect of competitiveness in the near future.
