The Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), a highly comprehensive index, which captures the microeconomic and macroeconomic foundations of national competitiveness. Competitiveness as the set of institutions, policies, and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country. The GCI captures this open-ended dimension by providing a weighted average of many different components, each of which reflects one aspect of the complex concept known as competitiveness and group all these components into 12 pillars of competitiveness. Although the 12 pillars of competitiveness are described separately, this should not obscure the fact that they are not independent: not only are they related to each other, but they tend to reinforce each other. For descriptions of variables and detailed sources, please refer to "How to Read the Competitivenss Profiles". Source: http://gcr.weforum.org/
