Competitive Sweden

The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2007 was published last week. IMD ranks Sweden no 9 out of 55 countries, a pretty good grade in my opinion! The comparison is based on 323 competitiveness criteria. The US comes in first like last year and in the EU Luxembourg scores highest (no 4 overall). In the Nordic region Denmark beats Sweden by four places and Norway can be found at no 13, followed by Germany (16), the UK (20) and France (28).

  1. OOOOOOH. That's not very laagom, is it! Who do you Swedes think you are, swanning around in your posh Volvos?

    What measures are the Swedish government taking to address this distressing deviation from the average?

  2. Ha ha! Yeah, you're right, I'm not very lagom!

    The new government is trying very hard to make it difficult for people, believe me! They should not be too well off!
