The populations of industrialized countries profit the most from globalization, according to this year’s Globalization Report from the Bertelsmann Foundation.
Germany was ranked 6th on the list of countries that profited the most from the advantages of global economic interconnectedness.
Switzerland was ranked the highest, followed by Japan, Finland, Ireland and Israel. The report, which was released last week in Gütersloh, compared 42 industrialized and emerging countries and measured the impact of their levels of globalization on prosperity.
The price-adjusted gross domestic product per capita in Germany, for example, increased by an average of 1,150 euros per year between 1990 and 2016 thanks to globalization. In Switzerland it was 1,910 euros over the same period.
