Falling 10 places, Argentina drops to 94th position this year.
The continued deterioration of the country’s macroeconomic conditions (94th) coupled with a very negative assessment of the institutional set-up (138th) and the inefficient functioning of the goods (140th), labor (140th), and financial markets (131st) are the main reasons for this poor evaluation.
It appears that the country fails to leverage the important competitiveness potential provided by its large domestic market (21st) that allows for important economies of scale, its relatively high levels of ICT use (56th), and its high number of university enrollment rates (20th) that should provide local firms with a skilled labor force.
Argentina’s weak government efficiency (142nd) and high levels of undue influence (140th), along with one of the lowest ratings in terms of trust in politicians (143rd), result in a poor evaluation of its institutional functioning.
Structural reforms to improve the functioning of the goods markets by increasing domestic competition (143rd) and reducing the barriers to entrepreneurship, increase the flexibility of the labor markets (142nd), and ease access to financing by deepening the financial market could result in important efficiency gains that could boost Argentina’s productivity.
