Singapore has returned to first place in the 2026 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking, rebounding from second place in 2025, displacing Switzerland at the top of the global leader board.
The annual index of 70 economies was published on Thursday (Jun 18) by the Institute for Management Development (IMD), a Lausanne-headquartered, independent business school with hubs in Singapore, Shenzhen and Cape Town.
The ranking is based on 92 survey questions and 172 pieces of data drawn from measurements of four factors: government efficiency, infrastructure, economic performance and business efficiency.
