Abstract:

The Arab World has an abundance of resources – natural, human and economic. The region is implementing a wide range of initiatives that are enhancing competitiveness and strengthening prospects for sustainable development at the same time. Responsible competitiveness is advancing in the Arab World. This report contains a new assessment of this linkage between enhancing competitiveness and sustainable development. It covers 15 Arab nations. The assessment comes in three parts:
1. an overview of the situation of Arab nations against the global sample, using the Responsible Competitiveness Index (RCI) (Chapter 1)
2. an in-depth analysis of Arab issues and opportunities, using a new Arab Responsible Competitiveness Index devised for this report, taking into account more datasets of regional relevance (Chapter 2); and
3. detailed analysis of pressing challenges from seven sustainability leaders (Chapters 3 to 9), with concrete examples and recommendations of how Arab countries and businesses can raise their performance.
