The World's Top Ten Most Dynamic Economies - 1 views

  •  
    Of the top 10 world economies with the highest prospects for commerce growth in 2013, the U.S. is noticeable for its absence. Based on Grant Thornton's 2013 Global Dynamism Index (GDI) involving 50 countries, the U.S. slid down from No. 10 last year, to No. 11 in 2013.

For China, the business working environment and financing were both graded badly, close to the base of the stack. However, nothing defeats the Chinese labor market.
