Greece gets competitive

Greece is ranked only 96th out of 181 countries in an assessment of the competitiveness of economies, despite gaining 10 positions from last year, as it scored poorly on the number of steps required to set up a business, according to a World Bank report.

The report, which examines conditions that facilitate and obstruct business activity, gave Greece a lower score than almost all of its European Union peers.

Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Montenegro and Kazakhstan all scored better than Greece.
