Hong Kong Top city in the world to do business

Hong Kong Top city in the world to do business

For the third consecutive year , Hong Kong tops the ranking Bloomberg , thanks to very low transport costs and low cost needed to create a business. Other indicators in his favor : the weakness of less tangible costs, such as corruption or inflation. Finally, in this very rich country , consumption continues unabated .
This is thanks to domestic demand that Canada has moved in a year from sixth to second in the world , a vitality that is particularly illustrated in the size of the middle class, consumption or GDP per capita. The United States closed the podium , losing a place since last year , mainly because of the cost of starting a business .

What about European Country ! 

France is ranked in 11th position , still weighed down by labor costs disqualifying domestic demand breathless costs and discouraging entrepreneurship and investment, but valued for its good economic integration.
It's better than 2012 - France was then the 14th - but worse than Spain, rose from 16th to 9th position worldwide with an overall improvement in indicators. More generally, the European countries most affected by the crisis have improved their situation is particularly the case for Greece (34th , 43th in 2012 ), Ireland (20th , 22nd in 2012) and Portugal ( 17th, 30th in 2012)

Another important lesson that can be drawn from this classification is the sharp decline in China, which tumbles 19th place in the first year to the 28th day (she was 24th last year) . The main air hole Cause: endemic corruption, revealed by scandals . An against - performance contrasts with the progress of other constituent countries of the BRICS : Brazil rises from the 61st to the 38th spot , Russia from 56th to 43rd , India 54th to 48th and Africa South of the 34th to the 31st position.

China R&D market

China R&D market

China has exceeded the European Union for its research spending to GDP according to OECD statistics. South Korea remains, by far, the country that invests the most proportionally in R & D.
The new statistics confirm that the term "emerging" is less appropriate to the second world economy. For the first time, in 2012, China spent more than the European Union (EU) in research and development (R & D), in proportion to its GDP (Gross Domestic Product). According to statistics released Monday by the OECD, the Chinese have spent 1.98% of their GDP on research, a tenth of a point higher than the EU of Twenty-Eight has invested 1.97%. Chinese dynamism is spectacular, because since 2000, the wealth devoted to science and innovation in Europe has risen from 1.74% to 1.97% while in China, it has more than doubled, starting from 0 90% to 1.98%. The EU of Twenty-Eight weighing heavier than the Chinese economy, the expenditure in absolute terms are higher in Europe, around € 225 billion, against EUR 178 billion for China.

European R&D dicreases ! 

The European average conceals wide disparities of course, between the champion of research, Finland, who spent 3.55% of GDP in 2012 and, not surprisingly, Greece (0.69%). For comparison, the figure for France is 2.26%, slightly more than ten years ago (2.24%), unless there is twenty years (2.28% in 1995) and still far the target of 3% that are assigned the United States and the European Union. The United States has, as is the case for 20 years, a share of GDP devoted to R & D than that of the Old Continent, with 2.79% in 2012. South Korea to Israel
Among developed countries, South Korea is in the lead, before Israel. She spends 4.36% of its wealth generated research, an increasing effort for over ten years via twitter.
Beyond the competition between China, Korea and the "old nations", the total R & D expenses increased by 2.7% compared to 2011 in absolute value across the OECD. For the second consecutive year, according to the international organization it is located above the level before the crisis. "This increase is mainly in the business sector, the latter often having benefited from indirect tax incentives, the statement said, while public R & D budgets have remained stable or declined in many countries"
