Benchmarking industrial performance

The previous Industrial Development Report introduced a scoreboard of industrial performance and suggested how it could be used in the formulation of industrial strategy. At its core was a competitive industrial performance (CIP) index, benchmarking 87 economies in 1998 and 80 economies in 1985. This issue extends and updates the original CIP index. It ranks economies in three years, 1980, 1990 and 2000, and covers more countries: There is a ‘core group’ of 93 economies with data for all three years, and there are maximum numbers of countries for the three years, namely, 107 in 1980, 108 in 1990 and 155 in 2000 (the surge in the last year being largely due to the inclusion of a number of transition economies).
