Saudi Gazette - Qatar best prepared Arab country to tackle changes:

"Qatar is the most change-ready Arab country, according to the “Change Readiness Index tool (CRI), issued by the consulting and auditing firm KPMG. The survey assesses the capacity of 90 countries to undergo natural, technological and demographic change, measures their capacity to compete on a global level and attract investment, and long-term trends for these countries.

Out of the countries surveyed, Singapore was picked as the most change-ready, followed by Sweden, Qatar, New Zealand, Germany, Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the United Kingdom. The study was conducted in partnership with Oxford Economics and assesses the countries’ change-readiness in three aspects: economic capabilities, governance capabilities, and social capabilities. In each of these areas, the sectors covered were infrastructure, fiscal and budget policy, food and energy security, access to information and health, and others.

In a communiqué about the study, the KPMG partner in Brazil for strategy, Augusto Sales, says a country’s capacity to respond to change is key to building a sustainable economy and a fairer economy."
