South Africa has climbed seven places in the latest World Economic Forum (WEF) competitiveness ratings, and it’s thanks to the country’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector.
The country is placed 49th in the Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2016, up seven places and reversing a four-year downward trend “thanks largely to increased uptake of ICTs, especially higher Internet bandwidth”, the WEF report said.
The report is an annual assessment of the factors driving productivity and prosperity in 140 countries.
South Africa has also scored well for improvements in innovation — climbing by five places from last year’s report to 38th place. This, according to the WEF, establishes the economy as the “region’s most innovative”.
According to the WEF report, South Africa also hosts Africa’s most efficient financial market (12th worldwide) and benefits from a sound goods market (38th), which is driven by strong domestic competition (28th) and an efficient transport infrastructure (29th).
“It further benefits from strong institutions (38th), particularly property rights (24th) and a robust and independent legal framework,” it said.
It’s not all good news, though.

Can only hope. Being in the UK on a SA salary is rather tough. I try not do covering every time I see a pound sign; it just gets depressing.
Jirre. How did you paint yourself into that corner?Can only hope. Being in the UK on a SA salary is rather tough
