Resource detail

The report, which covers 112 economies, seeks to improve our understanding of how countries can use a diverse spectrum of policy incentives and institutional mechanisms to make economic growth more socially inclusive without dampening incentives to work, save and invest. The report presents a Framework and a corresponding set of indicators of performance and enabling environment conditions in seven principal policy domains (pillars) and fifteen sub-domains (sub-pillars). A database of cross-country statistical indicators has been compiled in each sub-pillar, permitting comparison at the pillar, sub-pillar, or individual indicator level within peer groups based on national income. Out of this benchmarking exercise emerges a distinct profile of the institutional strength of countries relative to their peers in areas that particularly help support broad-based progress in living standards.
