NCPC Competitiveness and Productivity Framework
As concepts, competitiveness and productivity overlap and interlink in a variety of ways, and this framework speaks to the strong intersection of both. Productivity and competitiveness are depicted as two mutually-reinforcing concepts. The arrows in the inner circle visually capture this interconnected relationship. These two concepts overlap and interlink with each other through the drivers that determine them in achieving the overarching goal of sustainable growth and wellbeing. The main drivers included in the NCPC's framework are Business Environment, Macroeconomic Sustainability, International Environment, Technology and Innovation, Education and Skills, and Infrastructure.
