The new ranking of the Economic World Forum on the infrastructural equipments of the world-wide nations
Italy is altogether in 82ª position and to 57° the place for the roads, to the 89° for the ports, the 40° for the railroads and the 67° for the airports
September 6, 2012

A doubt to this point is lawful: it is the Economic World Forum not to correctly interpret the information on the total state of infrastructures in Italy you supply to it from the national partner institute or is this last one, that is the SDA School Bites of Management of the University Bites, not to introduce to the Forum an adequate picture of the Italian infrastructural equipments?

Fact is that Italy is always down in the ranking of the quality of infrastructures of the world-wide nations elaborated from the foundation of Geneva, sopravanzata from Countries that appear manifestly less equipped. In the last "Global The Competitiveness Report 2012-2013" of the Economic World Forum Italy is classified to 82° the place for the total quality of its infrastructures, in regression regarding 79ª the position in which relationship 2011-2012 appeared in the precedence, to 73ª the position of relationship 2010-2011, to 72° the place of relationship 2009-2010 and to 73ª the position in it classifies introduced in relationship 2008-2009.

For that it concerns to street infrastructures Italy is installed to 57ª the position in relationship 2012-2013 while in the precedence relationships it was present respective in 59ª, 54ª, 53ª and 55ª position. In it classifies of the quality of harbour infrastructures Italy is to 89° the place regarding the precedence 81°, 81°, 83° and 95°. In the field of railway infrastructures Italy figure now in 40ª position while previously it turned out in 43ª, 39ª, 45ª and 52ª position. For infrastructure airport it is in 67ª position regarding the precedence 71ª, 84ª, 85ª and 78ª.

It is true that rankings as those on the infrastructural equipments elaborated by the Economic World Forum, that we publish below, can be read from various angles and can give dared to different interpretations of the proposed values which indices of the quality of infrastructures. It often is just so: there is who sees the glass full means and who empty means. However we inforMARE continue to consider that to some he is poured generous by drink leaving others disappointed.
