Rankings of Kazakhstan: Five Points Down

For our magazine it has become a tradition at the end of every year to publish material, devoted to the ranking of global competitiveness by the World Economic Forum (WEF). For years we have been sincerely hoping that Kazakhstan would stop going down and at last be among the top 50 most competitive economies of the world. Unfortunately, the year 2010 brought disappointment – the country went down 5 points, ranking 72^nd. Thus, in the last four years, the rankings of Kazakhstan went down 11 points in total.
