CSF Is the Partner Institute for the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Network

The Competitiveness Support Fund is the partner institute in Pakistan for the Global Competitiveness Network of the World Economic Forum. As the partner institute, CSF implements the World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey in Pakistan, a survey implemented globally in over 130 countries worldwide. The results of the Executive Opinion Survey are presented each year in the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report.

As the partner institute, CSF implements over 100 executive surveys annually. Pakistan has participated in the survey for two years. This year will be the third that Pakistan will be represented in it. Work on EOS 2009-2010 is underway. To promote competitiveness in Pakistan, CSF also helps to disseminate the results of the Global Competitiveness Report and the rankings of Pakistan in order to identify areas where competitiveness can be improved and to encourage dialogue and debate on competitiveness in Pakistan’s business, government and academic forums. CSF also analyzes the results of the competitiveness rankings published in this report and prepares information for the economic press.

As of 2007, CSF, using the rankings from the GCR, will prepare the annual State of Pakistan’s Competitiveness Report 2009. The State of Pakistan’s Competitiveness Reports 2007 and 2008 are available on the website and in print form. The next report is due in April 2009 based on the most recent GCR.
