A city’s competitiveness was measured in terms of three indicators including economic dynamism, government efficiency and infrastructure.
A city’s economic dynamism index was measured through business registration figures; employment, and financial institutions.
A city’s infrastructure assessment was based on a city’s road network, basic utilities and registered vehicles.
