Chapter | Swedish Economic Forum Report 2017: Svensk konkurrenskraft | 2017 The Swedish Competitiveness Scorecard 2017by Christian H.M. Ketels |
The Swedish Competitiveness Scorecard assesses Sweden's current competitiveness across a broad range of indicators, applying an impact logic from competitiveness fundamentals to productivity and prosperity outcomes. On these indicators Sweden is compared to a peer group of other advanced EU and OECD countries. The Scorecard finds Sweden's competitiveness to be solid overall, supporting the current state of the country's prosperity. Issues are identified in the education and skill system, labor market incentives and flexibility, the ability to translate R&D outcomes into economic value creation, and in preparing the economy for the new realities of globalization. Maybe most worryingly, it finds that Swedish public policy, long a strength of the country, is increasingly failing to provide stable policy decisions addressing the issues Sweden is facing.
