The Netherlands no longer in economich top 5
Netherlands has disappeared from the top 5 most competitive economies. In the list of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum, our country has fallen from 5 to 8. The government policy is not successful, is the conclusion of the compilers.Prime Minister Rutte proudly pointed to the position of the Netherlands in the top 5 most competitive countries in the world, this Monday, in his H. J. Schoo-lecture. Even before the United States and Germany, he said. However, these two countries have now surpassed The Netherlands.

Ziko,
Wikimedia commons Causes of the decline of the Netherlands, the funding, the dysfunctional financial markets, rising concerns about the stability of the Dutch banks, a dysfunctional labor market and delaying investment in innovation The acute shortage of technicians and engineers, the lack of coöperation of companies and universities and the lack of control by the government, caused The Netherlands dearly. The top sector policy of the government is too treacly and results in a lack decisive innovation. Switzerland, Singapore and Finland remain in the top 3 by sustained investment in innovation and education. The German innovation is paying off. Germany has joined the leaders (fourth place) this year because of significant investments in research and development, new technologies and excellent training of new technicians and engineers. After years of decline, the USA made it back into the top 5. Southern European economies such as France (23) Italy (47) and Portugal (51) are further declining in the global competitiveness index. Spain (35) and Greece (91), however, show a small improvement. The EU policy seems to bear fruit here.
