Business Bureau, Gulf Today
The UAE has strengthened its leading position in international competitiveness indexes, related to banking and fiscal policies, by securing places among the top 20 countries in 11 related competitiveness indexes in 2020.

The Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) documented the international successes that ranked the UAE among the top 10 countries, in terms of banking and fiscal policies, most notably the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking and the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report 4.0, as well as the Legatum Prosperity Index and the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook.

Like his immediate predecessor, Joe Biden is committed to a distinctly anti-China global strategy and has sworn that China will not “become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world…on my watch.” In the topsy-turvy universe created by the Covid-19 pandemic, it was, however, Jamie Dimon, the CEO and chairman of JP Morgan Chase, a banking giant with assets of $3.4 trillion, who spoke truth to Biden on the subject.

While predicting an immediate boom in the U.S. economy âthat could easily run into 2023,â Dimon had grimmer news on the future as well. âChinaâs leaders believe that America is in decline,â he wrote in his annual letter to the companyâs shareholders. While the U.S. had faced tough times in the past, he added, today âthe Chinese see an America that is losing ground in technology, infrastructure, and education â
