"Denmark Named Most Dynamic EU Economy, Bulgaria Lags behind

Business: 13 December 2006, Wednesday.

Denmark is the most competitive economy as measured by the European Union's Lisbon criteria, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). Runners-up are Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany.

The review is the third in a biennial series that assesses the progress made by the EU member countries in the far-reaching goals of the EU's Lisbon Strategy of economic and structural reforms, the last of which was published in 2004. It also measures the competitive performance of the countries on the waiting list to join in coming years.

Among candidate countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which will join the EU in January 2007, were found to be lagging behind Croatia and Turkey, two countries with no foreseen entry date."
