Key takeaway The country ranks 39th out of 70, the same position as the previous year.
Spain's position in the global competitiveness index has remained stagnant, according to a study by the Swiss organization IMD. The country ranks 39th out of 70, the same position as the previous year. This stagnation occurs despite receiving European funds for six years.
The ranking is a concern, as Spain's position is worse than when the Recovery Plan began. Another ranking by the World Economic Forum also shows Spain moving backward in terms of energy transition. Further details on Spain's competitiveness and energy transition rankings can be found in the original report from El Mundo.
The study provides more insight into the factors contributing to Spain's stagnant position in the global competitiveness index.
