ECONOMIC AND GEOGRAPHICAL POTENTIAL OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE RANKING OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Abstract

Competitiveness is the only objective criterion of the quality and well-being of the population. Competitiveness is not determined by the achievement of a degree in the ranking, but by the achievement of world- class standards in a wide spectrum of life in Kazakhstan’s society. That is why Kazakhstan has set an ambitious goal - to join the 30 most competitive countries in the world. Considering this, the issue of comprehensive monitoring of the country's competitiveness, based on data from international organizations and rating agencies, has become topical. The results of competitiveness monitoring were presented, new approaches were proposed, as well as an attempt to analyze the main indicators of competitiveness with foreign countries.
