Building a UK competitiveness policy

Business and government must jointly own the competitiveness agenda

As companies trade places, governments are taking a keen interest in international rankings and performance indicators as measures of their success in improving economic performance by closing the productivity (or wealth creation) gap. Against this backdrop, the UK needs to benchmark itself against the best in the world.

The Deloitte Competitiveness Index gauges the potential of nations to create wealth, measured through productivity (see the Appendix for the full approach
taken).

"Globalisation is quickening its pace. If the UK is to remain competitive in the battle for investment and wealth creation, business and government need to take action."
