Global Government Summit and"Strategic & Middle East" The second edition of the productive capabilities index

Dubai, February 12/ WAM/ The World Government Summit announced the launch of the second edition of the production capabilities index “PPI”, which was developed in cooperation with “Strategy & East Middle East”, affiliated with the “BWC” network.
The new version depends on the previous version that was launched last year, with the expansion of the analysis to include 60 countries instead of 25, providing a more comprehensive vision about the factors affecting productivity in today’s world, and highlighting the growth and competitive engines in the changing economic scene.
The productive capabilities index in its new version provides an innovative framework to redefine productivity mechanisms, as it merges basic dimensions in line with contemporary global transformations, such as environmental sustainability, luxury, innovation, and institutional quality.
The report also reveals the infidels capabilities of the economies of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, explaining that improving the weakest factors affecting productivity can raise the rate of growth of the region’s gross domestic product from 3.5% to 6.0%, which adds 2.8 trillion dollars to the region’s gross domestic product over the decade Next.
On a global scale, the study concluded that if all the countries covered in the index are able to improve their weakest productivity determinants to meet the best performance economies, this may contribute to supplying the global economy by about 87 trillion US dollars.
On the regional level, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recorded the highest rate among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in the possible productivity index, with a productivity of $ 69.3 for every working hour, followed by Kuwait with 60.8, then Qatar with 57.2, and Bahrain with 56.9, while the United Arab Emirates recorded a rate $ 48.7 per hour of work.
It is noteworthy that Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates came among the 10 highest countries in the world in the category of “financial capital”, adding 22-24 US dollars per hour of work to its productive capabilities.
Physical capital refers to the durability of the infrastructure, the quality of the operational state of the equipment, and the efficiency of the application of modern technologies, which collectively contribute to stimulating productivity and advancing economic growth.

This success confirms how targeted policies, investment in manufacturing, logistical services, and digital infrastructure can achieve accelerated growth across the various economic sectors.
Productivity has always been the main driver in promoting global competitiveness, improving the quality of life, and supporting long -term economic prosperity, however, traditional measures to measure productivity often suffer from insufficiency in absorbing the complications of the twenty -first century, such as climate change, loss of biological diversity, and transformations Social, demographic aging.

These traditional tools also depend on the previous performance analysis instead of defining future opportunities, which limits their effectiveness in drawing more sustainable and dynamic economies.
On the other hand, the productive capabilities index comes to redefine how to measure productivity in more comprehensive and accurate ways, as it is not limited to traditional measures such as human capital, material capital, and innovation, but rather expands its range to include societal capital, natural resource capital, institutional quality, This provides policy leaders and makers with a new perspective to deal with the challenges of the modern era.
For her part, Dima Al -Sais, the partner in “Strategy & Middle East” and director of the Thought Center, confirmed the transformation effect of the results of the study, noting that the unconventional scales of productivity constitute a pivotal factor in re -drawing the features of the global economy.
She added our analysis shows that social trust, institutional quality, and environmental indicators are not merely supportive factors, but rather contribute effectively to advancing or disabled economic growth, and then understanding these mechanisms enables decision makers to develop effective and directed solutions towards a concrete change.
The productive capabilities index is characterized by being a sophisticated tool that depends on three main advantages, which enhances the ability of countries to understand their capabilities and achieve qualitative leaps in productivity, which is to determine the strengths and weaknesses, in a way that enables countries to easily identify the areas in which they excel and those that require strategic improvements, and focus on The main engines for growth, by highlighting the most influential factors in improving productivity and growth, based on comparisons with the most efficient countries in performance, in addition to implemented paths, as the index of decision makers provides a guiding road map for bridging gaps, and achieving qualitative leaps, which puts them On the path of the world’s most productive economies.
The index depends on an advanced model supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning, as it combines advanced analyzes and the latest academic research on productivity. He was accurately tested by international economic experts to ensure its credibility and suitability for the changing economic reality.
In this context, Shadi Majdas, the partner in “Strategy & the Middle East”, said that the productive capabilities of decision makers provides in -depth visions and a practical tool that helps them to define strategic priorities and direct their efforts towards areas most able to enhance productivity and stimulate economic growth, which enables them to make decisions More efficient and effective in developing future economies. “
The report reveals pivotal opportunities and trends that contribute to drawing the future of global productivity, and includes the comprehensive approach to the GDP growth, as the possible productivity index is in line with the concept of post -GDP GDP, highlighting the intersection points between growth, innovation, reduced carbon emissions, and cohesion Social, which makes the index a valuable tool to support the achievement of the United Nations sustainable development goals “SDGS” and the 2030 agenda.
Among the pivotal opportunities and trends is the role of effective governance in advancing productivity, as strong institutions contribute to supporting entrepreneurship and enhancing innovation systems, and ensuring the efficiency of employing human, material and intellectual capital, which reflects positively on the efficiency of productivity and economic growth. However, the traditional productivity of productivity often overlooks the influence of institutional quality, highlighting the importance of this new evidence in enabling policy makers to understand the real factors for improving productivity.
It also includes pivotal opportunities and trends: focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, although human and material capital constitute a basic pillar of productivity in all countries, scientific research and patents are the two factors separating between traditional economies and winning economies in the productivity race, and that with the continuation of this The trend in the coming years is expected to increase the global transformation towards knowledge -based economic growth, driven by the progress of technology and scientific innovation.
The new version of the productive capabilities index is characterized by an interactive online simulation tool for productivity improvement policies, allowing users to compare and analyze the performance of 60 countries using 19 different scales. This tool provides in -depth practical visions to answer the fundamental question: “To what extent can the productivity of states flourish if it succeeds in harnessing their resources and capabilities with the highest possible efficiency?”
