Abstract: The global economy faces significant and interconnected challenges, being characterized of economic uncertainty. Policymakers ask for ways to manage the current economic challenges and to establish the fundamentals that underpin economic growth for the long term. All the countries should correctly identify their real sources of competitiveness and minimize the negative consequences on the economic development in certain contexts. For this, the first step is to know what really means national competitiveness and the way it is measured. The main objectives of the paper are to outline and discuss the relevant issues and challenges from a theoretical viewpoint related with the concept of national competitiveness and to show how it is measured by one of the most important institutes among those which realize it, contributing to a better understanding of the key factors that determine a high standard of living.

Keywords: national competitiveness; stage of country development; measuring of national competitiveness; key economic pillars. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
