The Next Wave of Growth: How to Unlock $87 Trillion in Global Productivity Gains
- The Index expands productivity measures to include institutions, social capital, and natural capital.
- Top performers, including Luxembourg, Norway and Denmark, showcase $90+ per hour worked productivity potential score.
- Four GCC countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain, are in the top 10 globally for the physical capital pillar.
Productivity drives economic growth and societal prosperity. The Productivity Potential Index (PPI) redefines productivity by incorporating six pillars-human capital, physical capital, innovation, institutions, social capital, and natural capital.
This forward-looking framework integrates 19 indicators, supported by advanced analytics, to help policymakers identify priorities and address challenges like environmental impact and institutional performance. Globally, productivity gains could add $87 trillion to the economy by 2035 if nations strengthen their indicators. The Index equips leaders with actionable insights and an interactive policy simulator to empower data-driven decision-making, promote policy innovation, and foster sustainable growth.
